Conducted by Gallup in February-March 2010, the European Foundations Survey was an online survey targeted at Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) to bridge a knowledge gap on how foundations were seen by MEPs.

The goal of the survey was to gain a better idea of MEPs’ perception, knowledge and actual contact with foundations and the foundation sector as a whole.

The survey also aimed to collect their views on potential EU legislative action in the field, the level of support among MEPs for the work of foundations, and on potential legislative regulation on a European Foundation Statute.
