The European Programme for Integration and Migration is an initiative of 25 private foundations with the goal of strengthening the role of civil society in building inclusive communities and in developing humane and sustainable responses to migration, by offering targeted, outcome-driven support through collective philanthropic action. 

EPIM acts to forge collaboration between foundations, adding value by efficiently distributing funds and reaching a breadth of grantees that most individual foundations would not have the resources to reach alone. EPIM also supports civil society organisations in their work on migration and integration through grant-making, capacity development, knowledge support and connecting actors accross the field. 

Specficially, EPIM supports civil society organizations through grant making, capacity development, knowledge support, and connecting actors. 

EPIM provides Thematic Funds to support projects on the following topics: 

• Building inclusive European societies
• Children and youth on the move
• Communicating on Migration
• EU mobile citizens' access to rights
• Migration and detention
• Reforming the European asylum system
