Fellowship Timeline

  • June (search): There is no formal application process. We do an extensive search for fellows through our pipeline partners. We depend heavily on our trusted network for referrals on who’s doing excellent work. 

  • July (screening): Members of our team independently review every nomination to evaluate potential fit with the fellowship. 

  • August (selection and onboarding): A series of up to 2 onboarding calls with our team for us to learn more about the potential fellows and for you to understand the program.

  • August - September (virtual bootcamp): A five-week virtual workshop on fundraising leadership followed by mentorship sessions. 

  • September (grant distribution): we distribute micro-grants based on your final deliverable (a 5-page living proposal).

  • October - December (ongoing mentorship):  we offer close mentorship and follow up to support your work.

  • February (annual impact survey): we gather a short survey consisting of key metrics that allow us to track progress and provide add-on support to past fellows.
