Registration is Now Open for the Fall 2024 Cohort of Philanthropology
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.
Fall 2024 Cohort dates:
Module 1: Philanthropy History, Ecosystem, and Evolution
- Wednesday, September 25 from 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. PST
Module 2: Racial Equity and Equity Analysis in Grantmaking

Communities of Practice
EPIP’s Communities of Practice give emerging professionals a space to grow, learn, and connect with their peers. Available Communities of Practice are:
-
The People of Color Network: The People of Color Network (PCN) is a professional development and peer support network for EPIP members who identify as people of color. The PCN is designed to address the intersections of challenges and opportunities that are unique to emerging people of color in the sector. The spaces we provide, whether in person or virtual, are places where we hope you can show up in your wholeness to connect, vent, share strategies with peers, and learn key skills.
- The next People of Color Network gathering is coming up! Join us for “Table Talks & Peer Coaching: Cultivating Abundance Together” on September 24 from 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. EST. Learn more and register.
-
The Emerging Women of Color Community of Practice: The Emerging Women of Color (EWOC) community of practice was launched in 2022, focused on leadership development and network weaving for early- and mid-career women of color in philanthropy. Created in response to member requests, this community provides leadership development through the lens of race and gender. It also works to connect early-career women of color with a network of peers so that it takes less effort to ‘find your people’ in the field.
- Join the Emerging Women of Color Community of Practice for Battling Imposter Syndrome, a virtual table-talk discussion where we will explore strategies to combat feelings of imposter syndrome in our work. Happening August 27 from 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. EST. Register today!
- White Affinity Community of Practice: EPIP launched this space in 2021 to provide a rigorous and supportive environment for members who identify as white to deepen their knowledge of antiracism and develop skills and strategies to advance racial equity and inclusive leadership practices in philanthropy, unpack and process the harmful effects of white privilege and white supremacy culture including how both show up within individuals and institutions, and discuss shared challenges and experiences. The latest cohort just wrapped up. Stay tuned for the next cohort announcement!
Contact [email protected] with any questions or to express interest in getting involved as a facilitator for future sessions.
