Giving young leaders an opportunity to grow and learn how to lead is critical to the long-term success of Colorado’s organizations. In 1991, we created our Fellowship program for recent college graduates and early career professionals to support the pipeline of leaders in our state. As a 22-month program, Fellows work full-time for the Foundation, spending their time supporting programs and grant making work while participating in a comprehensive professional development curriculum.

It’s a virtuous cycle that connects emerging leaders with invaluable, real-world work experience in the philanthropic sector. It prepares them to give back to their communities and become our trusted leaders of tomorrow. Surrounded by a network of peers who continue to support one another, this Fellowship provides long-lasting relationships with leaders throughout the country.
