Mission & Interests
Goals: European Cultural Foundation is an independent foundation based in the Netherlands founded in 1954 and operating across Europe for 65+ years. ECF's vision is that the connecting power of culture is essential for creating open, inclusive and democratic societies, and as such is invaluable for building Europe. We promote a European sentiment through developing and supporting cultural initiatives that let us share, experience and imagine Europe. We initiate and support cultural exchange and creative expression across wider Europe. ECF shares and connects knowledge across the European cultural sector, and advocates for arts and culture on all levels of political decision-making. We link policy and practice, to act as catalysts for artistic and cultural expression and to have a concrete impact on European cultural policies and strategies. We do this through our programmes, grants, advocacy, publications and digital platforms. Since 2020 we developed the Culture of Solidarity fund.
