The annual conference of the European Venture Philanthropy Association (EVPA) is taking place in Geneva today. It is a sold-out event that draws over 500 participants from 23 countries.

It comprises seven key elements: high engagement, tailored financing, multi-year support, non-financial support, involvement of networks, organizational capacity and performance measurement.
