EGA Events| 5/28/08 - 5/31/08 | EGA Delegation to the European Foundation Centre Annual General Assembly
Early Bird Deadline: Friday, February 29, 2008!!
(Note: if you attend just the pre conference event on May 28, you do not need to pay ANY registration fee)
The growing importance of the European Union, and the emerging influence of new environmental legislation arising from Brussels, has an impact on American environmental and funding initiatives. Progressive regulations, established in Europe, are affecting issues of concern to EGA members- from environmental health to biofuels. At the same time, the face of European philanthropy itself is changing. Europe is witnessing a tremendous growth of foundations, as well as increased cross-border cooperation and involvement with global issues - within Europe as well as outside. New types of donors and approaches to philanthropy are emerging - and seriously impacting- the international grantmaking arena. These new donors, as well as experienced funders are increasingly looking to engage in learning networks in Europe and beyond, collaborative funding schemes, and international networking opportunities.
Whether you are a domestic or internationally-focused grantmaker now is the time to learn more about the exciting changes happening in Europe. Join EGA members, already engaged in this forum, as we meet and strategize with our colleagues overseas. This is perhaps a once in a lifetime opportunity to join a formal EGA-led delegation to the European Foundation Centre's Annual Conference!
Highlights include:
*A special orientation led by EGA members
*Celebrate and support the launch of the European Foundation Centre's own environmental affinity group: Environmental Funders Europe
*Special workshops led by both EGA and EFC colleagues about climate change and consumption issues
*A special reception and pre-conference event for EGA and EFC environmental funders ( if you attend just the pre conference event on May 28, you do not need to pay ANY registration fee)
