Philanthropic organizations inherently wield power in the social sector due to historical structures that assign power to resources. How can practitioners within these organizations harness their own sources of powers to transform culture and practice to better center nonprofits and communities? 

Bring your favorite morning beverage and join EPIP-Colorado for an interactive exploration of the various Sources of Power and how we identify, leverage, and become comfortable with using our power to catalyze social change. Together, we will unpack Robert Gass’ one-pager on 12 Sources of Power, consider Sylvia Duckworth’s Wheel of Privilege and Power, and support one another to lean into our sources of power to advance equity. Participants are encouraged to quickly review the two resources linked above prior to the event.

You are invited to an in-person Happy Hour co-hosted by EPIP-L.A. and the L.A. Giving Circle! Guests will be able to meet members of the EPIP-L.A. community and learn about programs and events that promote leadership development and relationship building among colleagues who share a vision of creating a more equitable and inclusive philanthropic sector. Guests will also be able to learn about the L.A. Giving Circle, a collective giving group. The L.A. Giving Circle is open to anyone (in philanthropy and beyond!) who is interested in pooling contributions to provide grants to local grassroots organizations throughout L.A.

Food and drinks will be provided!

Street and structure parking are available + public transportation options.

RSVP is required. Guests are encouraged to bring a friend interested in learning more about EPIP-L.A. and how to get involved in our local philanthropic community.
