The Center on Philanthropy and Civil Society is offering an opportunity to grantmakers and other Third-Sector community philanthropy practitioners who carry weight in their professions for developing their development profession to new heights through their Senior International Fellows Program.
The program has been developed in order to help the Fellows strengthen the Third-Sector capacity in their home countries. The senior-level Third-Sector practitioners from the United States can also apply to participate on a tuition basis or with support from institutional sponsors.
The four week fellowship program is scheduled to run from Monday October 10, 2011 through Friday November 4, 2011.
Program Highlights
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 and will reflect the political, social, economic and legal frameworks in the Fellows’ home countries.
The program is open to senior-level practitioners and decision-makers in their professions (generally over the age of 35) in the US and overseas.

The program is open to senior-level practitioners and decision-makers in their professions (generally over the age of 35) in the US and overseas.
