Pooled Funds & Donor Collaboratives
The EPA Approach
Strategic
design.
Donor partnership.
Embedded support.
We help design, fund, and operate collaborative funds that move resources with intention, integrity, and impact.
​
EPA specializes in the full life cycle of collaborative funds—from early-stage design and stakeholder alignment to donor engagement, governance, grantmaking, and implementation. We’ve helped raise and distribute hundreds of millions of dollars toward bold, field-led work.
​
EPA’s co-founders and partners lead every aspect of the engagement—whether we’re facilitating strategy, managing operations, or stewarding funders. That sets us apart from other firms and is why many of the country’s most ambitious pooled funds trust us as long-term partners.
​
We serve as both strategic partners and implementation leads—helping funds navigate growth, complexity, and change.
