The European Center for Not-for-Profit Law

Based in The Hague, ECNL is a leading European resource and research center focused on policies and laws affecting civil society. ECNL aims to build an enabling environment for civil society organizations (CSOs), so that they can operate independently, sustain themselves financially, thrive under strong internal governance, engage in effective policy-making, and mobilize public support. To achieve these goals, ECNL works at every level, from the local to the international.
