NEF is an association of leading European foundations dedicated to strengthening philanthropic cooperation. Our main focus is on enabling better and more strategic collaboration between foundations, but we also work in partnership with non profit organisations, government institutions, academia and more. We aim at better and more strategic collaboration, and our mission is to realise European solidarity through philanthropy for social inclusion, international development and democracy. We fund and support the civil society in its work on those 3 fields of action, at the European and global level.
