The program provides up to six fellowship awards annually, each offering up to $30,000 for professional development to outstanding leaders of nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations.

The program prioritizes a personalized approach to professional development, encouraging Fellows to design their own plans that can include educational programs, visits to model sites, and meetings with leaders across the nation. This focus on tailored development ensures that the learning is relevant and impactful for each individual and their organization. Additionally, the fellowship includes a $10,000 grant for staff and board development within the Fellow's organization, and eligibility for an Organizational Enhancement Award of up to $50,000 after fellowship completion. These additional grants underscore the foundation's commitment to holistic organizational improvement alongside individual leadership development. Expected outcomes include enhanced leadership skills, improved organizational management, and increased capacity for innovation within participating nonprofits. Measurable results would be reflected in the successful completion of professional development plans, the effective utilization of staff and board development grants, and the successful application and implementation of Organizational Enhancement Awards.
