About Emerging Practitioners in Philanthropy (EPIP)

Emerging Practitioners in Philanthropy (EPIP) is a national network of changemakers who strive for excellence and equity in the practice of philanthropy. EPIP's mission is to empower emerging leaders and elevate philanthropic practice in order to build a more just, equitable and sustainable world. EPIP envisions a world where people of all identities can live full and prosperous lives, supported by a diverse, equitable, inclusive and effective philanthropic sector. More specifically, we envision a field that: > Fosters healthy, safe and inclusive work environments, where staff from diverse backgrounds and life experiences can bring their whole selves to work; > Responds to and is inclusive of nonprofits and local communities - especially those most vulnerable, such as people of color, LGBTQ people, women, immigrants and refugees, etc. - in grantmaking, activities and decision-making; > Communicates in plain language, models transparency, makes itself deeply accessible to the public and communities, and devotes energy to making the grantee experience efficient and empowering; > Takes bold stances on issues and is willing to incur risks to uphold our most deeply held values and ideals; and > Continuously pushes itself to test creative approaches and adopt effective practices to advance all of the above.
