Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation Fellowship Program

The Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation, based in Winston-Salem, NC, offers a fellowship each year for up to two years for a North Carolinian who demonstrates an interest in philanthropy, public policy, the nonprofit sector and/or community service. The fellow acts as a junior program officer and works with the Foundation staff in evaluating grant proposals and visiting with grant applicants. The fellow performs specific duties on established Foundation projects, but is also allowed flexibility to work on projects of personal interest. Fellows in years past have done very significant work with long-lasting benefits to the Foundation and the people of North Carolina. The position is salaried and includes benefits such as medical insurance and begins July 1 annually.
