EUConsult was founded in Amsterdam in 1991 by leading consultants in philanthropy. Over the past three decades, we have expanded to include members from diverse areas such as management, strategy, fundraising, communications, governance, and recruitment. Our journey began with the vision of Thom Harris, Rupert Graf Strachwitz, Antoine Vaccaro, and Job van Dooren, who sought to establish a professional association committed to ethical consultancy practices.
Our story began in 1982 when Thom Harris identified the need for a code of ethics in fundraising. Through collaborative efforts and meetings in Amsterdam, Paris, and Prague, EUConsult was formally established on October 18, 1991, under Dutch law. Since then, we have grown significantly, driven by our unwavering commitment to supporting the not-for-profit sector.
If you are dedicated to delivering ethical, values-led consultancy, we invite you to join us. Be part of a dynamic network that is making a real difference in the world.
Our members include a broad spectrum of European consultancy firms and individual consultants in a range of countries. Our common interests are the not-for-profit sector and an international outlook.
