Philea Seeking Respondents in Survey: How Foundations are Governed

Published on October 16, 2025

Philea, the Philanthropy Europe Association, is seeking respondents to answer a qualitative survey focused on how foundations are governed. They intend on understanding what factors help, or hinder, effective governance.  

Philanthropy today stands at a crossroads. Long-term thinking, bold ideas and cross-sector collaboration are needed to unlock change.
