Epim 'e'de

Epim ‘e’de, formally known as the European Philanthropic Initiative for Migration, operates as a prominent philanthropic collaborative in Europe. It actively funds and cultivates strategic alliances and partnerships across the migration ecosystem, seeking to enhance collaboration and impact. The initiative focuses on curating narratives that promote belonging and strengthen democratic resilience, offering support to various actors within the field. Its approach emphasizes building relational and imaginative infrastructures to advance societal integration and foster a holistic view of migration.

The organization was launched in 2005 as the European Programme for Integration and Migration by a consortium of leading European philanthropies. This collective effort was driven by the insight that a concerted, collaborative approach was essential to effectively address the complex issues surrounding migration and integration across the continent. Its establishment marked a pioneering step in leveraging philanthropic resources to shape the discourse and practice of migration policy.

Epim ‘e’de primarily serves organizations and alliances engaged in migration-related work, fostering a broad ecosystem that benefits migrants and society alike. Its overarching vision is to achieve a Europe where migration is universally accepted as an integral part of its history, present, and future. Through its continued efforts, the initiative aims to build thriving societies where migrants are fully included, empowered to assert their rights, and actively shape their own futures, ultimately strengthening European democracy.
