Join the 2021 Giving Circle

EPNO’s 6-month Giving Circle Program is an initiative to engage community members of New Orleans in philanthropy. Participants pool funds, collaborate on teams and allocate grants impacting issues they care about while learning about their values, grantmaking essentials, and philanthropy at-large.

Applications Are Open

Applications for the 2021 class are now open and will close on April 23. We will be starting this year virtually and looking to possibly segue into in-person events in compliance with CDC and state and local government guidelines, regulations, and guidance. 

Before applying, please review the 2021 schedule below. In order to create a productive atmosphere for all class participants, we ask that you do not miss more than two all-class events (denoted with an asterisk*).
