As EPIM enters a new chapter as the European Philanthropic Initiative for Migration, we are adopting a fresh framing of our work. Migration is not a standalone issue but deeply connected to Europe’s wider challenges: tackling inequality, strengthening civic infrastructure, countering polarisation and othering, and fostering belonging. How we relate to migrants today is a precursor to how we will relate to one another tomorrow — and to the future of democracy in Europe.

In 2022, Europe faced the largest displacement since WWII as millions fled Ukraine, triggering the EU’s Temporary Protection Directive and an inspiring display of solidarity, but also exposing stark double standards in refugee reception. Across the continent, challenges persisted, from pushbacks at borders to crises in reception systems, even as new EU initiatives on labour mobility and skills pathways emerged. Amidst this, EPIM supported partners across Europe and began a Process of Change to renew its role as a collaborative fund for the future.
