After a successful year of identity-based professional growth and peer collaboration in 2023, EPIP's Emerging Women of Color (EWOC) returns for another transformative year, focused on strengthening connections, enhancing philanthropic expertise, and amplifying collective influence. Don't miss the kick-off session for 2024 on January 30th – join EPIP and the EWOC in another empowering year!

The Emerging Women of Color (EWOC) is a professional development and peer support network for EPIP members who identify as women of color. The EWOC uses the EPIP Inclusive Leadership Framework as a basis for skill-building and focus. The EWOC  was launched in 2022, and focused on leadership development and network weaving for early- and mid-career women of color in philanthropy.  EWOC was created in response to member requests, and we’re excited for members to continue to shape our communities of practices and programming. Feel free to join us even if you haven't been able to attend previous EWOC gatherings.

Join EPIP for our Winter 2024 Cohort of Philanthropology™! This is the first year we are opening registration for our signature curriculum to the entire sector with a special discounted rate for EPIP members. 

In order to use philanthropy to drive social change, it is crucial that new practitioners in the sector understand its context, history, and challenges. Philanthropology™ is EPIP's signature curriculum that responds to this need with an in-depth critical study of philanthropy through a social justice lens that includes academic and practitioner perspectives. 

The Philanthropology™ curriculum includes 9 hours of synchronous virtual sessions spread over several weeks supplemented by reading materials, videos, and reflection activities. Participants learn the landscape and history of the philanthropic sector and dig into concepts like intersectionality, movement building, grantmaking with an equity lens, and strategies for putting this knowledge into practice. 

This 3-module curriculum uses a liberatory facilitation lens to accommodate multiple learning styles and methods of engagement. Participants are encouraged to come to sessions relaxed and ready to learn with peers across the country. 

The curriculum is delivered by trained facilitators from within the EPIP community, providing an opportunity for members like you and alumni to share their knowledge and perspectives as emerging leaders in the sector. (Contact [email protected] to express interest in becoming a facilitator). The content is also informed by EPIP’s Inclusive Leadership Framework and develops participants’ sector knowledge, ability to take an equity analysis, and so much more!
