There are two ways to join or renew membership, online and by mail.

Join or renew online

You can join or renew securely online by making your annual tax-deductible contribution to EPIC. Your contribution will be your membership donation. In doing so, you become a member or renew your membership.

EPIC’s programming depends on membership contributions and income from its endowment. If you choose to make your contribution online, the default is a gift for current use, though you have the option to designate it to the endowment by clicking the dropdown arrow to the right. In either case, you may make the gift in honor or memory of someone.
