European Network of Political Foundations

Mission & Goals

As a network of political foundations, affiliated to different political ideologies across the democratic spectrum, ENoP and its members advocate for the respect of democratic principles and political pluralism inside and outside of Europe. They build bridges, create common grounds and understanding between political and civil society actors in Europe and partner-countries as to strengthen core democratic values, and contribute to nurturing pluralistic and inclusive societies. Today ENoP brings together 40 member foundations from 19 European countries, having access to local partners in over 100 countries worldwide. We stand for the core value of representative democracy where the people elect members of political parties to create and vote on laws, policies, and matters of government on their behalf. The Network is committed to supporting democratic processes in partner-countries, while contributing to the internal discussions on the future of Europe.
