EPIP is a place for leadership in action. Our members learn by doing, therefore making a difference in their jobs and in their communities. Our chapters are guided by the brilliance and commitment of our chapter leaders, individuals volunteering their time to advance the EPIP mission while improving their leadership skills. Our network is a safe space for emerging practitioners in philanthropy to exercise leadership, to take risks, and to get feedback. It is a place for you, our members, to be seen and heard. As a platform, we hope to spark innovative problem solving to address the challenges our world faces. Our voices are diverse within the field, and we are future thinking. As a community, we point to the horizon where problems will be solved. These awards lift up the work and the voices of our network. Please take a moment to nominate your colleagues.
