Principles of Accountability for International Philanthropy: An Aspirational Tool for International Donors

---

Cross-border philanthropy is exciting and rewarding, with the benefits far outweighing
challenges. In view of the distinct complexities facing independent funders working across
national borders, the Council on Foundations and the European Foundation Centre (EFC)
created a Joint Working Group to develop a set of principles of accountability specifically
for international philanthropy. The result is this voluntary, aspirational document that is
intended to educate, guide and help Council and EFC members be more accountable and
effective in their cross-border activities.
In early 2005 the Working Group undertook the extensive process of consulting members
of the two organizations as well as other philanthropic networks and experts. In addition,
consultations were held with groups of grantees and philanthropic partner organizations in
Latin America, Eastern Europe, and Africa, including a three-day workshop with 25 African
non-governmental organization (NGO) leaders in South Africa.
