Epic at a Glance:
At Epic, we strive to build a world where children and youth - no matter their race, gender, sexual orientation or place of birth - have access to a future full of promise and opportunity. We are a global foundation backing groundbreaking non-profits around the world - the changemakers and innovators that are transforming the lives of children and youth and protecting our planet for generations to come.
Groundbreaking non-profits often fall short of smart money to drive impact. Donors want to give more, but are held back because they lack trust, time, and knowledge. Epic bridges the gap between the social entrepreneurs forging solutions to today’s pressing challenges, and the individuals and businesses who want to pool their resources to drive positive change. We curate and monitor highly-vetted portfolios of organisations that we back in order to foster lasting change. We operate strictly on a pro bono basis: 100% of donations received go directly to the organizations in our portfolio.
Now in our 10th year, we have mobilised over $91 million and supported 55 organizations in 11 countries across 4 continents, since 2015.
If you're passionate about making a difference, if you're driven by purpose, and if you're ready to be a force for good in the world, then Epic Foundation is the place for you. Join us in our quest to create a more just, equitable, and compassionate world.
