We are delighted to announce that Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors Europe (RPA Europe) is now fully operational. 

RPA Europe is an independent, UK-registered charity with its own board of trustees, built for the European context. Earlier this year, it established its grantmaking capabilities. Its board has now approved the policies that allow RPA Europe to offer fiscal hosting to new initiatives, mirroring the practice RPA has honed in the US over more than two decades. 

This means 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 in compliance with UK law, and provide grants management, financial reporting, and legal and tax compliance under UK charity law. 

RPA Europe is legally distinct from RPA, and the two share a common mission. RPA Europe draws on RPA’s global infrastructure and experience through a formal services agreement. 

“Our team is embedded in the European ecosystem, with colleagues based in France, the Netherlands, Germany, and Spain,” said Alejandro Alvarez von Gustedt, Vice President, Global Growth & Partnerships. “RPA Europe gives European funders and initiatives a locally governed partner that can carry the operational and compliance weight of a project, so they can focus on impact.”
