About this grant
The program goal is to enhance the development of community philanthropy globally. To this end, the Research Foundation of the City University of New York, in cooperation with the City University of New York Graduate Center, runs an annual international community foundation fellowship program. Each year, the program offers emerging leaders and seasoned community foundation practitioners from foreign countries opportunities to learn about community foundations through an intensive graduate program of research, seminars, conferences, mentoring, and internships. To date, the International Community Foundation Fellows Program has provided fellowships to over 100 individuals from more than 40 countries. The program has sparked the creation of a number of new philanthropic ventures and research resources in places as diverse as Argentina, Brazil, India, Korea, the Philippines, Russia, and Ukraine.
