ABFE’s Connnecting Leaders Fellowship Program
The Association of Black Foundation Executives (ABFE) Connecting Leaders Fellowship Program is a year-long experience designed to sharpen the skills and strengthen the leadership capacity of foundation staff, donors, and trustees who are committed to assisting Black communities through philanthropy. Ten fellows will have the opportunity to learn from seasoned grantmakers on a regular basis, understand how to be more effective change agents within their institutions and participate in a network that focuses on innovative solutions to community challenges.
Each fellow will be assigned a leadership coach as part of the program. Fellows receive a stipend in support of their professional development. In addition, each fellow is required to complete a community-based learning project during the fellowship year. This can be volunteer work or a research project.

DEADLINE: Monday, June 1, 2009.
