Summary
Impact Europe (formerly known as EVPA - European Venture Philanthropy Association) is a membership-based network that positions itself as "the investing for impact network." It brings together over 350 European members and partners across the capital spectrum — including foundations, impact funds, corporate impact investors, and ecosystem shapers — to enable coordinated action addressing social and environmental challenges. The organization does not directly provide grants or investments to projects; rather, it serves as a connector and convener for those who do. Members gain access to year-round online and hybrid working groups on topics like impact measurement, catalytic capital, and beyond-grants approaches. The network operates several thematic streams including Corporate Impact, Impact Funds, Foundations, Catalytic Capital, Youth Alliance, and market-building initiatives for Eastern Europe, MENA, and the Western Balkans. It also maintains an EU Funding Watch resource and engages actively in EU policy discussions. Impact Europe hosts two flagship annual events: Impact Days (June 2026 in Brussels, focused on systems change and mobilising concessional and commercial funding) and Business of Impact (September 2026 in Portugal, focused on corporate impact investing and resilience). Membership fees vary according to the size and nature of each organisation, recognising the diversity of actors in the network. This is fundamentally a network and membership organisation for capital providers and impact investors, not a direct funding mechanism for project implementers or NGOs. Its value lies in connecting organisations to the broader impact investing ecosystem, facilitating peer learning, and influencing EU-level policy.
