New NCRP, EPIP Partnership to Bring Policy Briefing Series

posted on: Wednesday, September 03, 2008


National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy to provide EPIP members with exclusive, cutting-edge policy briefings by conference call


Last month, Emerging Practitioners in Philanthropy (EPIP) announced a new partnership with the National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy (NCRP).

EPIP and NCRP are working together to increase the effectiveness of foundations by ensuring that the next generation of grantmakers is informed and engaged in the cutting-edge public policy and research currently impacting philanthropy and nonprofits.

Through this new partnership, NCRP will deliver policy briefings via conference call that are custom-designed for emerging grantmakers. These briefings will be available exclusively to dues-paying members of the EPIP network.

In addition to briefings, EPIP will keep members informed of new NCRP research and publications, and EPIP members will be eligible for a 50% discount on NCRP membership. Information on how to access this discount is forthcoming.

The first briefing will address controversial public policy efforts to increase foundation support for nonprofits led by and working in communities of color. These efforts were targeted in the state of California and became part of the national discourse of philanthropy through the recently defeated legislation AB624 in the California legislature. This conference call will take place on Wednesday, September 24th, 2008. It will begin promptly at 4:00pm ET, and will run for one hour.

EPIP members interested in participating must RSVP to
rsvp@epip.org. Use the following text as your subject line: “RSVP for 09.24.08 Phone Briefing”. Only individuals who RSVP will be provided with call-in information and materials. Participants in the EPIP network who wish to participate may join EPIP by clicking here.


About the Partners:

Emerging Practitioners in Philanthropy seeks to strengthen the next generation of grantmakers, in order to advance effective social justice philanthropy. It serves a diverse membership of young and new foundation professionals through a network of chapters, professional and leadership development programs, and an advocacy voice on philanthropic effectiveness, generational change, and social justice issues in the field.

The National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy promotes philanthropy that serves the public good, is responsive to people and communities with the least wealth and opportunity, and is held accountable to the highest standards of integrity and openness. Since 1976, NCRP has used research and advocacy to urge the philanthropic community to provide nonprofit organizations with essential resources and opportunities to effectively serve disadvantaged and disenfranchised populations and communities.
