All are welcome to join the EPIP LA Giving Circle on Tuesday, November 10 at 5:30pm for our fall 2020 Pitch Night. Tune in to learn about the current round of inspiring nominees. If you’ve been curious to see how the Giving Circle works, this is a great introduction!

Our Giving Circle provides grants to small, Los Angeles-based nonprofits typically operating with an annual budget under $1M. Past grantees have included the Social Justice Learning Institute, Inclusive Action for the City’s Street Vendor Emergency Fund, Dance for Healing, and Al Otro Lado.

What does civic engagement look like post-November 3rd? How do we organize and mobilize for long term social change? This event will provide a space for EPIPers to discuss and brainstorm how to bridge philanthropic resources with community engagement.

Join EPIP LA as we hear from Judy Belk, President and CEO of The California Wellness Foundation (Cal Wellness). Belk has been a visionary leader for Cal Wellness as a social justice public health funder. Belk also uses her voice in her published essays and short stories focused on family, community, race, and social change in a variety of publications. We're excited to hear from Belk about how she integrates Cal Wellness' commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion into every aspect of the foundation's operations and grantmaking, and her insights and advice about leadership during these especially challenging times.
