State of European Volunteering Report 2026
About SEVR2026
DRAFT IDEA: During IVY2026, the State of European Volunteering Report 2026 (SEVR2026) provides a key opportunity to highlight the contribution of volunteering and volunteer-driven action across Europe. SEVR2026 brings together our country factsheets, concrete practices, and stories from the field to show how volunteering takes shape in different contexts. It presents examples from three main forms of volunteering (associative, informal, and third-party) through which citizens organise collective action for the common good. Based on contributions from volunteer organisations, the report offers a comparative analysis and a comprehensive overview of current practices and emerging trends in the field of volunteering.
The report is developed in partnership with the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, a Portugal-based international foundation working to build a more equitable society through initiatives in culture, education, science, and social action. SEVR2026 is further supported by our member organisation, the Portuguese Volunteer Confederation (CPV), which represents volunteer organisations in Portugal and works to strengthen volunteering across various sectors.
