RE: Democratized Charitable Giving

Thank You for your comments Ekili. You are correct - the question is how to let organizations know that this is available. I have tried sending a small number of emails directly to organizations that are devoted to the well being of children (a particular interest of mine) but there must be a better way. While the Press Release that was sent to local media here in the New York area did not draw any attention, I wonder if there are media organizations within individual countries that might find this an item worthy of publicity. If you know of any in your country please let me know.

Thank You again.

Job Description

The El Pomar Fellowship is a highly competitive, two-year post-undergraduate leadership training program that develops today’s young professionals into tomorrow’s leaders. Fellows have the opportunity to pursue personal and professional growth through direct program and project management, community development, and grant-making. The Fellowship emphasizes leadership and professional development; it is designed to bring together highly qualified individuals with diverse backgrounds and interests, and shape them into effective leaders for the public, private and nonprofit sectors. Fellows operate the foundation’s Community Stewardship Programs, conduct outreach initiatives and bolster the Foundation’s grant-making throughout the state, investing in the people and organizations of Colorado’s urban and rural communities.

Fellows learn by doing and by exploring their personal leadership styles in a supportive and dynamic environment found only on the front lines of philanthropy.


Responsibilities
Support the Foundation’s Community Stewardship Programs as staff and directors

Participate in leadership and professional development training with both practical and classroom components, including instruction in finance, grants, public speaking, facilitation, event planning, and various aspects of the nonprofit sector

Support the Foundation’s grantmaking program by conducting site and/or community impact visits, assessing the effectiveness of El Pomar grants in the community

Represent El Pomar Foundation at events and programs throughout the state of Colorado

Support Penrose House Conference and Education Center operations by assisting with Foundation sponsored events for nonprofit organizations

RE: Resources for postgraduate studies outside of the US
Date: November 17, 12:53pm
Hello all,

My name is Natalie Kersten and I work for AustraLearn in the field of international education, sending students abroad to universities in Australia and New Zealand for full degree programs.

Two great resources I know of are Jason http://www.jason.edu.au/index.pl, a Postgraduate Scholarship Database for Australia, and The University of Minnesota’s External Scholarship Database at http://160.94.154.31:591/LAC/sch/FMPro?-DB=ISTC_Scholarships.fp5&-Lay=WebForm&-Format=sch_entersearch.html&-Find.
We have pages on our website as well at www.degreesoverseas.com, that list available scholarships, and provide information on financial aid and loans for graduate students.

I hope this helps some. Thank you!
