Poverty –end poverty now!

Vision , Mission and Values!• Vision

To foster a network of non-profits, volunteers, and donors to fight poverty through community-led initiatives.

• Partnering with other organizations to support communities in need.• Funding sustainable community-led initiatives.• Educating and raising awareness of social and economic issues related to

poverty.• Values

We believe in supporting sustainable community-led projects that permanently lift people out of poverty and build leadership, assessment, administration, and physical skills that can help people create future solutions independently.

Structure!• EPN operates at a grassroots level; our team works together in

a democratic and closely collaborative manner.• Our Chapters across Canada act as the foundational fundraising

and campaigning sources, which directly support our Grassroots Projects.

• Our team of Officers are essential to the effective operation of our communication, marketing, research, content creation, and campaign planning, continually providing new ideas to engage EPN members and outside communities.

• Our Board of Directors manages our administrative tasks, along with our Grassroots Projects and Educational Initiatives divisions, while offering support to our Officers and Chapters.

History• EPN was founded on August 21st, 2006, by

students at McGill University, on a tri-pillar structure of Education, “InReach,” and Grassroots Projects. Within a few years, EPN developed into an independent organization apart from the university, bringing in professionals as advisors and staff. Since then, EPN has experienced growth and change under different leaderships.
