Fellows from East Africa and for Fellows conducting research on
Community Foundations. Application deadline is February 25, 2005.

organizations who play a role in linking with nonprofit organizations
through project partnerships, legal reform initiatives, and a variety of
other activities.

carrying out independent research and inquiry. A high degree of English
fluency is required as demonstrated by a score of 600 or higher on the
