Erasmus Centre for Strategic Philanthropy

The Erasmus Centre for Strategic Philanthropy (ECSP) aims to contribute to the overall performance and effectiveness of the philanthropy sector by building knowledge, capabilities and tools through rigorous academic research; by offering dedicated high quality education; and by encouraging interaction and debate about philanthropy and its impact on society. ECSP operates with a European scope. It addresses the challenges and needs of all philanthropic organisations in Europe, which annually contribute over 50 billion euro to a large variety of projects. The services of the Centre are of a high international standard as they are backed by an innovative academic research program focused on practical and impact-oriented issues within philanthropy.
