Join EPIP, the Washington Regional Association of Grantmakers, and EPIP DC Chapter for the debut of Philanthropology™, a 3-module social justice grounding in philanthropy. 

In order to use philanthropy to effect change, it is crucial that new practitioners in the sector understand its context, history, and challenges. Philanthropology™, first developed by EPIP in 2012 and revised for 2021, responds to this need with a curriculum that includes both academic and practitioner perspectives in an in-depth critical study of philanthropy and social justice created for and informed by the next generation of inclusive grantmakers. 

The Philanthropology™ curriculum includes 9 hours of synchronous virtual content and supplemental activities that cover the landscape and history of the sector, intersectionality, movement building, grantmaking with an equity lens, and strategies for self-advocacy and professional development.

The curriculum also offers 3 hours of asynchronous activities and ample readings to further your knowledge.
