For many international partners, engagement begins by coming alongside the Giving Collaboration Fund, which supports the growth of Giving Collaborations across Europe.
EGCC’s primary focus is Europe. At the same time, we walk alongside partners and givers from around the world who share a heart for thoughtful generosity and collaborative stewardship in Europe. This page outlines a simple, relational way to engage — without pressure and without obligation.
At least once a year, each community hosts a Marketplace event — a gathering where carefully vetted local ministries and projects are presented to the group.
At each Marketplace:
The Fund’s steering committee determines matching levels based on the anticipated giving capacity of each community. Matching never exceeds local giving — a design that keeps communities healthy and growth sustainable.
An experienced steering committee oversees allocation, manages undesignated gifts, and ensures that every contribution is stewarded with care and due diligence.
The Fund operates as an EGCC initiative through a secure giving platform that supports multi-currency contributions, responsible holding and stewardship of charitable assets, and tax deductibility for eligible donors.
Partners may direct their contribution toward a specific country or region, and choose whether it serves matching grants, growth support, or both. Undesignated gifts are stewarded carefully and deployed where they can best support the growth of Giving Collaborations.
Grants are available exclusively to Giving Collaborations within the EGCC network. Each community signs a Memorandum of Understanding and commits to hosting at least one Marketplace event annually.
Partners receive regular impact updates and are welcome to connect directly with the Giving Collaborations and ministries their gifts support.
Generosity knows no borders.
When people from different nations walk together in trust and shared responsibility, generosity grows not only in scale, but in wisdom and faithfulness.
