FAQs

Is EuroCharity a NGO or charity?

No, EuroCharity is a unique social entrepreneurship model in Europe and operates as a for-profit, social venture. Headquartered in Athens, EuroCharity's mission is to be Europe's largest privately-run communications and networking platform specialised in CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility), Sustainable and Responsible Investing, and the Green Economy.

As a social venture, EuroCharity: 1) channels part of its annual pre-tax earnings to help finance non-profit projects that are being proposed, managed and implemented by EuroCharity's NGO Free and NGO Premium members (to date, 12 projects have been funded in 6 years' time); 2) providesfree-of-charge portal space (micro sites) inside the popular on-line NGO Directory to more than 300 NGOs and organisations in order to increase their exposure to their stakeholders, both locally and globally; 3) re-invests most of its earnings back into its social venture in order to fund its activities as a business and catalyst for change.

For these and other reasons, EuroCharity uses the word "Charity" in its corporate name and identity. The word "Euro" was connected to the word "Charity" due to the fact that EuroCharity owns and operates a European portal and reference point for CSR and the Green Economy, but also because the social venture initially started out with a focus on the European market. Today, the EuroCharity Yearbook, EuroCharity portals and international events that EuroCharity participates in and pro-actively supports have a global readership, world-wide audience, and delegates from four continents, respectively.

In addition, for every euro that EuroCharity earns per annum, part of it is donated to specific charitable projects at the end of each fiscal year. Learn more about EuroCharity's Mission & Values by clicking here.
