Community Partnership Fellowship

The Heinz Endowments (THE) Community Partnership Fellowship program is a full-time, two-year experience that encourages diverse perspectives, creative thinking, and leadership development. The aim of the fellowship is to expose promising professionals to key aspects of philanthropy, including grant development, grantee communications/relations and research and analysis. During the experience, fellows engage with nonprofit organizations, public sector leaders, The Endowments’ grantees, national and local research experts, and philanthropists, learning about the key pillars of philanthropic leadership through active participation and deep practical application.

Reporting to the Vice President of Equity & Community Partnership, the Fellow will receive mentorship, leadership development opportunities and exposure to all aspects of The Endowments’ grantmaking process including grantee convening, grant reviews, board engagement and preparation, strategy development, team engagement, research and reporting. Although the fellowship will focus on THE’s Community Partnership initiatives, exposure to different strategic areas and disciplines will be included.
