Emerging Philanthropists Program
Support or join the next generation of philanthropists
The Emerging Philanthropists Program (EPP) seeks to engage Harrisburg’s emerging business and community leaders with the great possibilities that lie within philanthropic endeavors in our region. EPP provides resources and educational opportunities for those who wish to be actively engaged in philanthropic endeavors.
In the culminating experience, the class applies their newly learned community and grantmaking skills by awarding a grant to a nonprofit organization in a funding priority chosen by the class after assessing community needs. Since 2014, the Emerging Philanthropists Program has granted $35,000 to nonprofit organizations serving the Harrisburg area.

TFEC and HYP are partnering for the 9th year to provide an opportunity for emerging leaders in the Harrisburg community to become actively engaged with the power of philanthropy through the Emerging Philanthropists Program (EPP). What does it mean to be philanthropic? How do I understand the needs of our community? What can I do to make an impact? EPP provides resources and educational opportunities for Harrisburg’s developing leaders who wish to be actively engaged in giving back to their community.

What is the Harrisburg Hoopla? It’s a fantastic event hosted by the EPP where teams compete to raise unrestricted funds for local nonprofit organizations.
