The European Foundation Centre is organising an evening reception to mark an important new year for foundations and their partners with the adoption (foreseen early February) by the European Commission of the European Foundation Statute, a new, legal tool that could seriously boost cross-border giving and ultimately increase the impact of contributions made by foundations to benefit citizens’ lives across Europe.

Join us to learn more about why this initiative is good for enhancing Europe’s competitive edge and social well-being, particularly in the current climate. Guests at the event will also have a chance to find out more about the Centre’s flagship annual conference, which will take place in Belfast on 6-8 June on peace and social justice, as well as other upcoming events and initiatives.

When: 7 February 2012, 18:00-20:00

Where: EFC Offices, 78, avenue de la Toison d'Or, 1060 Brussels, Belgium

RSVP : efc@efc.be before 12 January 2012
