AGM Diversity Fellowship Program 2008-2009

Associated Grant Makers of Boston is pleased to announce that applications for the 2008-2009 Diversity Fellowship Program are being accepted. The Diversity Fellowship Program seeks to increase the diversity in the field, meet the interest of emerging leaders wanting to get into philanthropy, help prepare them, and open doors for Black African Americans, Hispanics, Asian Americans, Pacific Islanders and Native Americans.

Although the racial and ethnic demographics of our communities continues to change, it is clear the professional staff and trustees at many foundations are not reflective of this diversity

AGM needs your help to identify and encourage potential candidates to apply for the 2008-2009 program year. We anticipate candidates will come from the nonprofit and corporate sectors with evidence of community or volunteer experience. Candidates will be considered based on knowledge, commitment, experience and skills. This program is open to United States citizens or permanent residents with a minimum of a Bachelor's Degree and three years of experience.

The application and Frequently Asked Questions sheet can be found on the AGM website at www.agmconnect.org and the application is due by 5pm on Thursday April 10, 2008. Those with further questions should send an email to tdowley-blackman@agmconnect.org.
