Turn Your Good Intentions into Lasting Impact

At Epic, we’ve spent over a decade learning what works and what doesn’t in the world of giving. Even the most well-intentioned donors can struggle to make their contributions truly impactful. That is why we created the School of Philanthropy, a practical, hands-on program designed to turn good intentions into powerful results. Through a series of actionable modules, you will gain field-tested tools, real-life stories, and insights from peers, equipping you to give smarter, maximize your impact, and see the difference your generosity can make.

To date, we have backed 57 nonprofits, mobilized over $100 million since our creation, and supported organizations across 11 key countries. Our rigorous, evidence-based approach is trusted by donors and institutions worldwide.

The School of Philanthropy is a learning experience for those who want to give not just more but better.
