description

EPIC is a nonprofit started in Chicago in 2008 and is an acronym for Engaging Philanthropy, Inspiring Creative. EPIC helps creative professionals and nonprofits in Chicago and Minnesota join forces, making a bigger impact on the world than either could alone. In regular intervals, we pair select teams of creative professionals from the ad/design industries with nonprofit clients dedicated to education, children and families. During what we call 8-week creative rallies, each team creates plans, programs, and materials—on a pro-bono basis—that their nonprofit client needs to positively affect the lives of those they serve.
