PRAXIS European Venture Philanthropy in Practice

February 2009
ISBN: 0-9553659-5-3

It belongs to the tasks of philanthropists to contemplate what might be learnt from others, from practice ‘elsewhere’. With its focus on current and emerging practices in Europe, PRAXIS provides an introduction to, rather than an analysis of, the different applications of engaged philanthropy in a European context. The fifteen featured case studies profile the practices and business models of selected organisations in Europe, which follow the principles of venture philanthropy in their support of projects and social entrepreneurs. Organisations profiled in this publication were selected from the membership of the European Venture Philanthropy Association (EVPA) to reflect a wide scope of practices across Europe, based in the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, France, Italy, Estonia, Spain, Ireland and Switzerland.
