Next Gen Philanthropy

The Council is proud to partner with Emerging Practitioners in Philanthropy (EPIP) to create the Stay in L.A. Scholarship Fund so young philanthropic professionals have the opportunity to benefit from the incredible professional development and learning experiences at the 2012 EPIP conference and the Council's 2012 Annual Conference. Awardees will receive partial ($400) or full ($800) scholarships to attend the Council's conference, or they may receive support toward their airfare. Applicants must already be registered for the EPIP Conference to apply for a scholarship. For more information about eligibly and criteria or to apply, please click here.

The EPIP Conference is April 26-28 and the Council on Foundations Annual Conference is April 29-May 1. Because both are being held in Los Angeles, we are using this opportunity to join forces and develop innovative sessions that will focus on Next Generation issues such as leadership and public policy. You'll also have a chance to relax and party the night away at a special Generating Change Reception.

Also, be sure to check out the Next Gen programming at the Council's conference.
