Empower Families for Innovative Philanthropy

Empower Families for Innovative Philanthropy (ERFIP)

is an initiative of the Edmond de Rothschild (EdR) Foundations launched in 2013. It is a uniquely distinct platform to harness the power of private philanthropists from emerging economies – Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the MENA region.

It is about knowledge exchange, peer to peer learning and action-driven philanthropy. ERFIP is about convergence of ideas, businesses, and development actors and to push for a more cogent voice from frontier philanthropists onto global stage of development discourse. ERFIP focuses on five priority areas:

    1. Promote peer to peer exchanges and showcase successful philanthropic models
    2. Highlight contributions achieved through private philanthropy
    3. Activate new opportunities for philanthropic collaboration
    4. Reinforce the presence of ‘Frontier Philanthropies’ on the global stage
    5. Boost connections between business, philanthropy and economic development
