EPIC + MPNAI MERGER
The East Phillips Improvement Coalition (EPIC) and the Midtown Phillips Neighborhood Association (MPNAI) are the connective tissue between organizations and residents in Phillips. We provide resources, funding, and organizing with and to our residents!
We believe that a merger between EPIC and MPNAI would drastically increase our ability to serve you by decreasing our administrative costs and growing our staff capacity to apply for additional funding and ultimately reach more neighbors.
