Our Fellows
Community-based organizations (CBOs), small community serving nonprofits, or small disadvantaged businesses within the United States.
Our Fellows were excited to help create tools to attract the resources communities need to solve their own problems.
They hope to build trust between government and communities, and help promote the voices of community members.
We hosted a webinar and a Q&A session to introduce the Fellowship program to community organizers ( see timestamps for topics discussed).
