                    EU Social Economy Action Plan opens a new chapter for philanthropy
        
                    Brussels, 10 December – The European Commission released its Social Economy Action Plan on 9 December, which recognises the important role of foundations and other social economy actors in offering concrete and innovative solutions to key challenges we are facing and their key role to rebuild after the crises. For Philanthropy Europe Association (Philea), a convergence of Dafne and EFC, this marks a moment of celebration for the philanthropic and the wider social economy sector who have long advocated for this policy.
