The ABFE Connecting Leaders Fellowship Program (CLFP) is a year-long experience designed to sharpen the skills and strengthen the leadership capacity of early to mid-level professionals; foundation staff; donors; trustees; and nonprofit leaders who are committed to assisting Black communities through philanthropy. Fellowship cohort participants have the opportunity to learn from seasoned grantmakers and peers on a regular basis, understand how to be more effective agents for change within their institutions, and participate in a network that focuses on innovative solutions to community challenges.
Cohort members participate in an exclusive Leadership Summit and are assigned an executive coach. In addition, each cohort member is required to complete a community-based learning project during the fellowship year. This can be volunteer work or a research project on a topic of interest to them and of service to Black communities. Please note that cohort members will be based at their home institutions and in their communities during the fellowship year.
