Testimonials from our partners

"NEF is a ‘very important reliable mechanism seated within the networks of Euro funders that extends the reach of funders into issue areas and geographies where philanthropy is still emerging’. "

"The most valuable service is to have a neutral partner to manage all foundations’ collaboration. The coordination and governance of the network is very important."

"NEF works in subsidiarity, respecting the SC members’ responsibilities and opinions, but being able to provide advice and share experiences of other pool funds"
