Up Next: Application Review, Feedback Stage
Following the July 15 application deadline, the Initiators Fellowship Steering Team begins its review and feedback process as we march toward Finalist Day in September.
Watch our Overview webinar for details:
SEPTEMBER SELECTION
Up to 15 applicants will be invited to participate in Finalist Day! Applicants will be notified about their selection status by Sept. 30. All applicants receive feedback regardless of the outcome.
FINALIST DAY
Finalists will share their ideas with a panel of judges and participate in a live pitch session on Oct. 25. Finalists also will have the opportunity to access a variety of supportive resources throughout the day. Up to seven Fellows will be selected for the program by early November.
PROGRAM START!
The seven selected Fellows will receive two years of intensive support and training plus $30,000 annually. Selected Fellows will be matched with a mentor during November and December, and the program will kick off in January 2020.
Investing in a Lifetime of Local Leadership
Regional Foundations United in Goal to Enrich Greater Minnesota
Investing in the people and communities of Greater Minnesota has been a central tenet of the Minnesota Initiative Foundations. Through the Initiators Fellowship, three Greater Minnesota community foundations—the Initiative Foundation, Southwest Initiative Foundation and West Central Initiative—are continuing the legacy that began in the 1980s.
