Extra Special EPIP Member Benefits! Sign Up by 12/1

Not an EPIP member yet? If you join by December 1, 2009, EPIP will provide you with a set of valuable library of learning resources that address issues of generational change in the workplace, philanthropic effectiveness, and social justice philanthropy. These include:

• Wit and Wisdom: Unleashing the Philanthropic Imagination, EPIP's book, written by philanthropy observer and practitioner Mark D. Constantine, features indepth interviews with diverse senior foundation leaders discussing the highlights and challenges of their grantmaking work and careers.

• GrantCraft's "Guide to Personal Strategy," arguably one of the most applicable tools for practitioners looking to successfully navigate the foundation workplace.

• Change Philanthropy: Candid Stories of Foundations Maximizing Results through Social Justice, a brand new book produced by EPIP partner, the Linchpin Project at the Center for Community Change.
  

• The Foundation Center's "Foundation Yearbook" and "Social Justice Grantmaking II" executive reports, which highlight and synthesize general giving patterns and social justice grantmaking trends from 2009.

This special library was already provided free of charge to EPIP's current members earlier this fall. We look forward to sharing it with new members who join by December 1st!
