Philanthropology™ Program

Our unique grantmaker education program provides EPIP members with peer-based and inter-generational professional development through workshops, Web and print resources, partnerships and ongoing programs. Members will gain: an in-depth orientation to the foundation field; resources to help you take up your role and manage the paradoxes of philanthropy; and a safe space to learn about the complex relationships between foundations, donors, grantees and social change.

Foundation Work & Learning Initiative

We help foundations provide diverse young people with meaningful work, service and learning opportunities in the field of organized philanthropy. We know that young leaders can gain and contribute quite from staff and board roles, internships, fellowships and mentoring programs. This Initiative includes: educating young activists about the role of foundations in the nonprofit sector; promoting best practices for engaging young people in the life of foundations; and linking EPIP members to the professional development opportunities they need to succeed.
