About
the 2012
Emerging Leaders International Fellows Program
&
U.S. Diversity Fellowship
PLEASE
NOTE: The program dates have been changed.
The program will run from
September
24 to December 14, 2012.
The
Center on Philanthropy and Civil Society's Emerging
Leaders International Fellows Program provides
leadership training through seminars and applied
research.
Fellowship
awards are available for emerging leaders at community
foundations, at place-based grantmaking organizations
and institutions that support community philanthropy.
Those
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.

basis.
