Today marks a new day in the life of Emerging Practitioners in Philanthropy in DC. A newly-minted Steering Committee, guests from EPIP's national leadership and dozens of young philanthropic leaders in the DC metro area gather tonight to announce a new agenda for the next generation of grantmakers in DC.

The event marks the latest advance for the national organization as EPIP chapters around the country continue to build momentum. EPIP welcomed two new chapters in Michigan and Seattle this summer, and the Philadelphia chapter re-launches today with a similar celebration of emerging leadership.

Declaring "philanthropy as usual is dead," EPIP-DC hopes to build something new while maintaining EPIP's long-standing commitment to strengthening networks, supporting leadership, and advocating for social justice philanthropy.

We'll have more from the event later tonight.
