FUNDACIÓN DÉDALO

Monday 23 September 2013

The European Day of Foundations and Donors is a day to raise awareness of public benefit foundations. On October 1^st 2013, foundations from all across the continent will join a common effort to highlight the value of their work. On this day, they will host events and activities in various European countries and invite the public to learn more about foundations.

Every public benefit foundation in Europe is invited to contribute, regardless of whether it is big or small, acting globally or locally, pursuing its own projects or supporting the projects of others. Every event, every activity is welcome and thus a signal for the vitality of European foundations.

The ways of how a foundation can contribute to the European Day of Foundations and Donors are numerous: one may organise a fundraising event, another may host a panel discussion, and still others may stage concerts, lectures or hold open house. Another way of contributing is to let events already scheduled take place under the motto “European Day of Foundations and Donors”.
