EMpower -The Emerging Markets Foundation is a not-for-profit organization that connects the resources of Emerging Markets (EM) professionals worldwide with the vitality of local organizations in emerging market countries.Founded in 2000 by financial professionals from the EM community who wanted to give back to the countries where they did business, EMpower was created to make grants to local organizations working to improve conditions in their communities.EMpower supports local organizations in EM countries that provide at-risk youth with the tools and resources they need to lead healthy, productive lives.What Makes EMpower Unique? - Concentration on emerging market countries, where communities are many times marginalized and left out of economic booms.- Focus on young people during critical time of transition and the four critical building blocks for their future — education, health, livelihoods and leadership. - Open dialogue - EMpower engages donors in decisions about grants and forms trusting conversations with grantee partners about the issues they face and their solutions. - Streamlined, transparent, and highly cost-effective grantmaking model - 100% of funds raised from individuals go directly to our grantee partners.
