The
Program
•
The
Senior Fellows Program will run from Monday
March 5, 2012 through Friday March 30, 2012.
•
The program focus will be community
foundations set
within the context of the global philanthropic
sector.
Additional trends and practices in philanthropy
will be covered to address the research interests
of accepted Fellows.
•
Based on the seminars, readings, discussions
with leaders in the field, and the Fellows'
own experiences, each participant will produce
a position paper with recommendations
for the development, adaptation or expansion
of community foundations or another approved
topic. It is expected that these recommendations
will draw from the variety of foundation experiences
around the globe, and will reflect the political,
social, economic and legal frameworks in the
Fellows' home countries.
