If you would like to apply, please read the program description below carefully before contacting us at can@chechnyaadvocacy.org!



The Center on Philanthropy and Civil Society's Emerging Leaders International Fellows Program provides leadership training through applied research and professional mentorships for young scholar-practitioners in the nonprofit sector. The program is open to scholars and practitioners interested in building Third-Sector capacity in the United States and overseas. 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 and participate in a seminar with Third-Sector leaders. Specific topical areas are chosen each year.

The research topic for applicants to the 2009 Emerging Leaders Program is community foundations. A limited number of fellowships for research on diaspora or corporate philanthropy are also available for applicants based outside the United States only.

Please note that due to a high volume of applications received, research proposals that address topics other than community foundations, diaspora philanthropy, and corporate philanthropy will not be considered.


Fellows will participate in a 3-month seminar (Monday March 2 to Friday May 29, 2009) on the U.S. and international voluntary sectors. Fellows are expected to produce a 25-page research paper on their findings, which will be presented in the seminar. They will learn about the work of key agencies and meet with foundation and nonprofit representatives. They will also attend selected workshops or conferences.

Each fellowship covers the cost of tuition and includes a $1,300-per month stipend (taxable) to cover living and research-related expenses. In addition, the Center will also provide single-room dormitory accommodations with shared facilities at International House (adjacent to Columbia University ), as well as economy round-trip air travel to and from New York City .

Eligibility and Selection

The program is open to practitioners and researchers under the age of 36. Applicants must hold a college or university degree and speak and write English fluently. Preference will be given to candidates with strong ties to a Third-Sector institution and demonstrated research skills. Traditionally, selected fellows are citizens of countries other than the United States .
