By: Matthew Ubrig, EPIP Chicago Chapter Co-Leader

It was not very long after I was hired at Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors that I was able to experience Emerging Practitioners in Philanthropy for the first time. With barely six months of philanthropy and nonprofit experience under my belt, I was encouraged by my new colleagues to attend the 2012 EPIP Annual Conference in Los Angeles, CA as a way to get acclimated to the philanthropic space and get a handle on just exactly what we were doing and what we were all about.

Uh, yeah no need to tell me twice!

There is, and it’s been advocating for equity in philanthropy for the past 18 years. It’s led by the national leadership of the affinity groups that many of you belong to: Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in Philanthropy (AAPIP) Association of Black Foundation Executives (ABFE) Funders for LGBTQ Issues Hispanics in Philanthropy (HIP) Native Americans in Philanthropy (NAP) Women’s Funding Network (WFN) National JAG has engaged in plenty of work over the years, but hasn’t had the opportunity to meet with members of local JAG groups.
