There are many challenges facing European society nowadays.
Real sustainable answers to the biggest, most crucial social problems can be found and applied by starting on the local level, in other words by working bottom up.
Community foundations play a key role in change on the local level – they support self-organizing, local citizens to responding to problems and challenges by leveraging local resources, such as social, human and financial capital.
From our rich experience we know that social and human capital can be mobilised to great ends, but that financial support is essential, both for community philanthropy to thrive in a changing and competitive landscape, and to sustainably address social problems.
Join us! Become a partner and help us build strong and sustainable community philanthropy and communities, capable of taking up global challenges on the local level.

An astonishing, first-of-its-kind, report by the NYT assessing damage in Ukraine. Even if the war ends tomorrow, in many places there will be nothing to go back to.
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
