PHILANTHROPY FELLOWS
The Crimsonbridge Foundation Philanthropy Fellows Program offers students an opportunity to learn about philanthropy, grant-making, and the nonprofit sector, while providing administrative and project support to the foundation’s team members. Philanthropy Fellows work with all members of the foundation’s team as active participants in proposal review, site visits and meetings, grants management, and communications and digital content development. In addition, fellows participate and attend online and in-person foundation and nonprofit grantee partner events. The Philanthropy Fellows Program is administered through the generous support of Crimsonbridge LLC.
