A European political foundation, known formally as a political foundation at European level[1] and informally as a European foundation[citation needed], is a type of political foundation affiliated to, but independent from, a European party and operating transnationally in the European Union (EU). They are regulated and funded by EU Regulation 1141/2014 on the statute and funding of European political parties and European political foundations, and their operations are supervised by the Authority for European Political Parties and European Political Foundations (APPF). European political foundations carry specific political activities and are networks of national political foundations.
