Social Media Momentum Fellow (MC)
EPIP, Seattle, Washington, us, 98127
The Momentum Fellowship is a program offered through Philanthropy Northwest to develop a pipeline of leaders of color and other underrepresented groups in philanthropy. This leadership development program works with new and current practitioners in philanthropy to develop leadership skills; explores issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion in grantmaking; and engages in career development activities. This is all done while fellows work in professional positions in foundations across the Northwest. Along with the day-to-day functions of the job, fellows participate in cohort retreats throughout the two years, as well as monthly cohort calls, professional coaching, and networking opportunities.ABOUT THE MARGUERITE CASEY FOUNDATION
