he
2014 Program
•
The
program will run from Monday September 22 to Friday December 12, 2014.
•
The
program
focus will be community
foundations and local place-based giving set within the context
of the global philanthropic sector.
Additional trends and practices in philanthropy will
be covered to provide background and to address the
research interests of all participating Fellows.
• Drawing
on the seminars, readings, discussions with leaders in the field, and
the Fellows' own experiences, each participant will produce a research paper (approx. 20-25 pages) on their findings, which will be presented in the seminar. The papers should include recommendations
for the development, adaptation or expansion of community grantmaking
or another approved topic. It is expected that these recommendations
will consider the variety of community foundation experiences around
the globe, and will reflect the particular political, social, economic
and legal frameworks in the Fellows' home countries.
