Based in Baltimore, Maryland, USA, the programme affords an opportunity for advanced study, research, and training for up to eight participants each year who are involved in studying or managing private non-profit or philanthropic organisations outside the United States, or working as NGO liaisons in the public or commercial sectors. Fellowships, which can be an
academic year or semester, are available at both the Junior and Senior level. Special funding is available for Fellows from East Africa.
The Center is looking for candidates who have demonstrated a high degree of interest, experience, and professional competence in research, management, or general leadership related to the voluntary, non-governmental, non-profit,
or philanthropic sector. Alternatively applications are welcomed from non-profit liaison officers established by
governments and multinational organisations who play a role in linking with non-profit organisations through project partnerships, legal reform initiatives, and a variety of other activities.
Candidates are expected to have attained a university diploma equivalent to the American Bachelors of Arts or Science degree and be capable of carrying out independent research and inquiry. A high degree of English fluency is
required as demonstrated by a score of 600 or higher on the TOEFL exam.
There are no restrictions as to nationality, although US citizens are excluded from eligibility. Fellows are required to attend the annual International Fellows in Philanthropy Conference prior to their fellowship year and are strongly encouraged to participate in subsequent annual conferences.
