Starting from the extensive knowledge of the EVPA members about the EU funding mechanisms and programmes available for Venture Philanthropy Organisations and Social Investors (VPOs/SIs) at the European level, the EVPA Training Academy has launched this year the first edition of the workshop on "EU Funding Opportunities for Social Impact".
