The Center on Philanthropy and Civil Society’s Emerging Leaders International Fellows Program provides leadership training through seminars with Third-sector practitioners, research based on best practices, and the application of a comparative framework. Fellowship awards are available for emerging leaders at community foundations, at place-based grantmaking organizations and/or institutions that support community philanthropy.
Young professionals interested in strengthening community philanthropy and building capacity in local Third-sector institutions are encouraged to apply.
This year’s Fellows will be selected from abroad and also from communities of color under-represented in the U.S. grantmaking sector.
Fellows are based at The Graduate Center of The City University of New York, where they design and pursue an individualized research project. In addition, they attend weekly seminars, explore work of key agencies and foundations, meet with nonprofit leaders and study U.S. and international community foundation models.
In addition to offering fellowship awards for the study of community foundations, the Center accepts proposals that explore other Third-Sector/civil society topics from applicants interested in participating on a tuition basis or with financial support from their home institutions.
The program will run from Monday September 22 to Friday December 12, 2014.
Full fellowship awards cover the costs of tuition, single-room dormitory accommodations with shared facilities at International House (adjacent to Columbia University) in Manhattan, medical insurance, program materials, local meetings, local travel and other selected program-related costs.
Tuition-based or institutionally-supported appointments may also be made, pending approval by the selection committee.
Submission Deadlines: For non-U.S. citizens: Friday June 13, 2014.
For individuals living and working in the United States: Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis and may currently be submitted for review.
