Natalie Grandison, Inaugural Racing Upwards Fellow
Racing Upwards
The Racing Upwards Fellowship offers educational opportunities to a professional who is interested in increasing his or her fundraising skills or making a career transition that includes fundraising and nonprofit management. This fellowship particularly invites professionals from communities of color as a way of increasing access to nonprofit leadership roles and to enlarge the number of voices at the table in nonprofit organizations and boards. The fellowship is a mix of client experience and adding fundraising knowledge to your skillset. This is an educational fellowship, in which you will participate in work with clients and potential clients, directly through client contact or through research and presentations that will be used with clients.
