Overview
Mission
Epic world foundation's mission is to accelerate the momentum of entrepreneurial households (ehs) across the global south, by equipping them with the tools, opportunities and recognition they need to thrive. Our goal is to alleviate poverty, improve livelihoods, and create lasting change for individuals and communities. Ehs are low-income households characterized by their innovative spirit, resilience, and aspiration for social mobility. They play a critical economic role in their communities yet lack access to essential services (health, education, agriculture, livelihood) and are currently misunderstood and underappreciated.
What it reported doing in 2025
Eh360 is a large-scale research and storytelling initiative by epic world foundation exploring the financial lives of entrepreneurial households across india. The project studied 5,220 households across 18 states and 135 districts to understand how they earn, save, borrow, manage risk, navigate formal and informal systems, and build resilience over time. The results were published as a public good at ehdata.org
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
