About EPIP
Mission
Our mission is to support and strengthen the next generation of
grantmakers, in order to advance effective social justice philanthropy.
Programs
We work toward our mission through three areas of programming.
-
We organize unique
networking opportunities for our constituents through local chapters
and national meeting spaces (both virtual and in-person).
-
We develop the
leadership skills and analysis of our members for successful
engagement in the workplace and the broader philanthropic field.
-
We build an
advocacy voice for our generation aimed at transforming
philanthropy, and strengthening the pipeline for young people into
social change careers.
Constituency
EPIP members are professionals at foundations, government and
corporate grantmaking entities, and philanthropy support organizations
(such as regional associations of grantmakers, affinity groups, and
financial advisory firms). Some members are foundation trustees, or
donors involved in giving circles and other forms of organized giving.
Graduate students studying philanthropy are also welcome. EPIP does not
discriminate by age, but because we were started by and for young
professionals, our constituents are generally under 40 years of age.
Members range from weeks to years of work in this field, and from
program associates to presidents in terms of responsibility.
