40 Laying the foundations 20 years of the EFC Enlargement realised The 2001 Good Neighbours meeting On 1 May 2004, eight CEE states – the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia – joined the EU. It was now time for the EFC to look beyond the borders of the newly enlarged EU. In 2004 the EU launched its European Neighbourhood Policy to share the benefits of EU enlargement with neighbouring countries and prevent the emergence of artificial divisions between the enlarged EU and its neighbours. A policy framework was created for the joint pursuit of peace, stability and prosperity. Inspired by the European Neighbourhood Policy, the EFC developed a ‘Good Neighbours’ programme focusing on countries adjoining the newly enlarged EU, with the aim of boosting effective and transparent organised giving. The programme sought to galvanise EFC members and their partners to run projects in several areas: Belarus, Moldova and Ukraine, Russia, south‐east Europe and Turkey. The programme signalled the end of the Enlargement Task Force’s mandate and took over its work, while complementing the growing Grantmakers East Group. The evolution of Grantmakers East The Funding East group – originally called the Cross‐Frontier Grantmaking and Partnerships in CEE interest group, and later the Grantmakers East Group (GEG) and the Grantmakers East Forum (GEF) – grew to become a mini‐conference within a conference, where CEE matters could be discussed. While CEE was a consistent topic at EFC meetings and AGAs, the Funding East group and its successors established itself as the forum for grantmakers in the region to exchange views. Ingrid Hamm of the Robert Bosch Stiftung believes this network is one of the EFC’s major achievements: ‘The most important value the EFC brought to European foundations happened in central and eastern Europe . . . the EFC was the vehicle that provided the Grantmakers East Group. It was instrumental in getting western European foundations
