Number: Title: Ladder to Leadership: Developing the Next Generation of Community Health Leaders Brief Description: In an increasingly complex and fragmented U.S. health system, community-based nonprofit organizations provide critical support for millions of underserved Americans. These organizations encounter growing demand for services at the same time that their financial resources are decreasing. The impending exodus of senior nonprofit leaders due to the retirement of the baby boom generation exacerbates the challenges of building leaders for nonprofit organizations. According to a study conducted by the Bridgespan Group, by 2016 the nonprofit sector will need approximately 80,000 new senior managers each year. To address these obstacles, nonprofits need to develop new leaders who can create innovative, client-focused practices, manage day-to-day operations and serve as visionary catalysts for systemic change.

Number: Brief Description: The sponsor supports organizations that address human needs in disadvantaged communities, with strong emphasis on organizations that include service, advocacy and empowerment in their approach, with particular interest in efforts that combine two or all three of these elements. The sponsor provides both general support and project-specific grants. Although most grants cover a period of one year, the sponsor accepts requests for funding renewals and also makes multi-year grants. Proposed Funding: The sponsor's average grant is $45,163. All requests should be relative to the budget and needs of the organization applying; however, it would be unusual for the sponsor to make a very large (over $50,000) grant to an organization it has not worked with before. It is also unlikely that a first-time grant would exceed half of the proposed budget.
