Foundation seeks student to complete summer fellowship
The Community Foundation is currently accepting applications from currently enrolled undergraduate/graduate students for its 2013 summer fellowship for grant evaluation.

The fellowship was created for individuals with strong oral and written communication and analytical skills who are ready and able to undertake an intensive, full-time project in grant review; are highly motivated and resourceful self starters; have demonstrated a commitment to community involvement through previous service experience; have demonstrated leadership and time management skills; and possess the desire to learn more about the work of philanthropic foundations and the non-profit sector. Students with an interest in philanthropy and the non-profit sector are encouraged to apply. A personal vehicle and valid driver’s license are required. Mileage is reimbursable.

The fellow will receive a stipend of $4,200 for a full-time, ten-week placement at The Community Foundation in Utica, New York, beginning June 2013.

The student will work as a summer fellow in conjunction with program staff of The Community Foundation to conduct evaluations of selected grants awarded by The Foundation over the recent past. The grant evaluation process provides The Foundation with important perspectives valuable to its work as a resource for the non-profit community and in broad public policy issues.
