EPIC Information

EPIC empowers creative people to make social change. We facilitate creative rallies—eight intense, fun weeks of collaboration—which pair hand-picked volunteers from creative class communities with nonprofit clients focused on children and education. During the creative rally, each team creates programs and materials—on a strictly pro bono basis—that their nonprofit client will use to positively impact the lives of those they serve. The team leader—a creative director or principal designer from one of Chicago’s most sought-after shops—directs a group of creative professionals whose skill set matches a client’s specific needs. For creatives, it’s the chance to work with other like-minded professionals across the industry—and to use their talent to create social good. For nonprofits, it’s the chance to develop the kind of world-class, strategic marketing that their missions deserve.
