Bridging Gaps Fundraising Fellowship
The Bridging Gaps Fundraising Fellowship is an innovative program designed to empower young leaders with the skills and knowledge they need to become effective fundraisers for non-governmental organizations (NGOs), the UN, and other social impact initiatives. The fellowship will provide participants with hands-on training, capacity development, and real-world experience in fundraising, enabling them to make a tangible difference in the lives of others.
The Bridging Gaps Fundraising Fellowship has a duration of at least 3 months and can be extended to a maximum period of 12 months. During this time, participants are provided with a comprehensive understanding of fundraising principles and strategies.
Participants who successfully complete the Fundraising Fellowship will receive a certificate of completion with all partners’ logos, and may be eligible for university credits (depending on prior agreement with their university).
To incentivize participants’ participation in the program, 10% of the funds raised by each participant during the real-world experience will be provided to them as a stipend.
The 2024 cohort will be selected in May and expected to start the fellowship in September 2024.
Applications will only be accepted through this form. For any questions, feel free to reach out to the Bridging Gaps team at info@bridging-gaps.org.
