RPA Europe

RPA Europe is an independent, UK-registered charity with its own board of trustees, built for the European context. Although legally distinct from RPA, the two share a common mission and work together through a formal services agreement that allows RPA Europe to draw on RPA’s global infrastructure, systems, and two decades of grantmaking experience.

RPA Europe can support grantmaking, project hosting, and the compliance infrastructure that goes with it, for partners based in or working across Europe. It can accept contributions in Euro and GBP, make grants and contracts, and provide grants management, financial reporting, and legal and tax compliance. All activities are carried out in compliance with UK charity law.
