Epic Foundation UK Limited
About This Funder
Epic Foundation UK Limited, established in 2015 as the UK arm of the global Epic Foundation founded in 2014 by Alexandre Mars, empowers and protects children, youth, and the planet by connecting high-potential nonprofits with donors through a VC-inspired model. Its mission bridges resource gaps for social entrepreneurs, fostering a just, equitable, sustainable world via trust, transparency, strategic mobilization, and impact focus. Operating 100% pro bono with board-covered admin costs, Epic vets, builds, backs, and monitors mid-sized nonprofits, providing unrestricted multi-year funding and global peer support to drive long-term change.
It prioritizes two themes: Children & Youth, tackling poverty, mental health, gender equity, violence prevention, and education/economic empowerment; and Environment & Climate, supporting forests, food/agriculture, oceans, and non-commercial clean energy. Funding enables core operations, capacity building, innovation, and scalability for organizations demonstrating systemic impact on lives or ecosystems.
Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities (England/Wales) with annual budgets of $500,000–$15 million USD, based in the UK but able to work globally. Strictly invite-only—no unsolicited applications—though charities can register interest via the website's 'Join our portfolio' form for database inclusion. Sourcing occurs via expert recommendations, research, and annual reviews; invited orgs undergo 8+ month due diligence.
Grants start at £100,000+ annually for 3+ years (renewable every 2), often larger with two rounds yearly; no fixed deadlines or project-specific/emergency funding. Epic stands out for rigorous selectivity, transformational unrestricted support, and mobilizing $91 million globally across 57+ grantees, ideal for growth-minded mid-tier charities seeking step-change impact.
