Connect your leadership experience and entrepreneurial drive to make real and
lasting change that helps Americans thrive. Twelve students or recent
graduates who are passionate about individual rights and economic freedom will
be placed at State Policy Network's member think tanks across the country for
10 weeks, and will receive intensive training, mentoring, and on-the-job
experience in nonprofit fundraising.
Fellows will learn how to cultivate relationships that lead to philanthropic
partnerships and support for organizations, develop research and analytical
skills, and grow their professional network.
Are you interested in leading teams in the future? Fast track your success
with experience and formal training in fundraising, which is required for most
executive leadership positions, such as CEOs and board members. Nonprofit
executives in leadership roles spend a majority of their time on fundraising
to develop relationships and build support for the mission of the
organization. Develop these critical skills now that will prepare you for a
career and mission you're passionate about for long term success.
