Center on Philanthropy and Civil Society’s 2018 Emerging Leaders International Fellows Program
The Center on Philanthropy and Civil Society is accepting applications now for the 2018 Emerging Leaders International Fellows Program, October 1 – November 30, 2018, at the CUNY Graduate Center in New York, NY.
We ask your help in identifying potential candidates who would benefit from a nine-week fellowship to read, reflect, and exchange best practices and new strategies around local giving for local purposes. The program focuses on community foundations, local place-based giving and participatory grantmaking practices globally. Additional topics in philanthropy and civil society will be covered to provide context and to insure that the various research interests of program participants are addressed.
Drawing on seminars, readings, discussions with leaders in the field, and the Fellows’ own experiences, each participant will write a research paper. While applying a comparative learning framework, the resultant papers should offer recommendations that reflect the political, social, economic and legal frameworks in the Fellows’ home countries.
Applications accepted online through May 14th, 2018.
