Eurasia Partnership Foundation’s (EPF) mission is to empower people to effect change for social justice and economic prosperity through hands-on programs, helping them to improve their communities and their own lives. Through its foundations, registered locally in Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia, EPF raises and delivers seed capital to emerging civil society organizations. EPF is the legacy institution of Eurasia Foundation, a privately managed non-profit organization established in 1992 to deliver seed capital to emerging civil society organizations in the former Soviet countries. From the time of its establishment until the registration of EPF as local foundations in late 2007, EF invested nearly $70 million in the South Caucasus through more than 1,700 grants and programs with support from the United States Agency for International Development and other public and private donors.
EPF is both a grant maker and a program implementer and is guided by five program mandates and approaches: Creating Opportunities for Civic and Economic Participation; Building Capacity for Evidence-Based Research to Improve Policy-Making; Fostering a Culture of Corporate and Community Philanthropy; Cross-Border Cooperation; and Open Door Grant Making. Each EPF office sets its program priorities annually based on consultations with local and international stakeholders and the Board. EPF is a member of the EF Network: five local foundations supporting civil society and based in Russia, Central Asia, the South Caucasus, Eastern Europe and Washington, DC.
At EPF, we believe that our grass-roots approach to programs helps people improve their communities and their own lives, empowering them to effect change for social justice and economic prosperity.
EPF’s work is guided by the following program mandates and approaches (or tools). The mandates and approaches are flexible and demand-driven.
In November 2007 three new Foundations were launched in Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia. These new foundations, collectively called Eurasia Partnership Foundation are the local, legacy institutions of Eurasia Foundation in the South Caucasus.
The Board of Trustees of Eurasia Partnership Foundation makes decisions of financial and strategic significance. The full board meets twice a year.
