Impact Europe

Impact Europe is a pan-European network uniting impact capital providers who are committed to advancing social progress, sustainability, and economic prosperity through impact investing. Formerly known as the European Venture Philanthropy Association (EVPA), the organization has expanded considerably from its early beginnings, now bringing together over 350 members, including foundations, impact funds, banks, financial institutions, corporate actors, public funders, and social innovators. The network offers its members comprehensive resources, such as data hubs, training, and guidelines on impact measurement and management. These resources are aimed at ensuring that impact capital is deployed most effectively. Through its advocacy, Impact Europe plays an active role in shaping EU policy to foster a robust and inclusive impact market across Europe and beyond. Impact Europe is also committed to building a global impact ecosystem, developing new markets in regions like Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa. Its focus extends to areas such as climate action and sustainability, the reduction of inequality, and environmental challenges. The organization emphasizes knowledge sharing, practical support, and strategic collaboration among its diverse membership base, striving for a fairer and more sustainable world through innovative approaches to impact investing.
