Project design

Goals & aims

"Dafne is a network gathering donors and foundations associations in Europe with the aim of providing a platform to share knowledge and learn from best practices. With 30 member associations with a collective membership of more than 10,000 foundations and grant-makers, Dafne underpins individual activities of its members by encouraging dialogue and collaboration between the national associations. Each Dafne member individually serves public benefit foundations and other donors at national level: their roles and services vary from country to country."

Governance structure

The Dafne Board of Directors is responsible for making policy and activity proposals to the membership, setting the agenda for the ongoing year and overseeing the implementation of a work programme, overseeing and monitoring the Dafne budget as well as supervising the Executive Director.
