HECUA -- Student Resources -- Programs --Philanthropy & Human Rights Fellowship -- Project Sampling

SAMPLING OF PROJECTS:

• Human Rights - The Foundation uses a "human rights lens" in the grant making process. A fellowship recipient may be able to help determine how an approach is working and how the resulting grants are relevant to the Foundation's mission. Recipients also could research how human rights are defined or understood by constituents and how the Foundation can further the understanding of issues and support effective work in this area.


• Organizational Effectiveness - Over the last few years, the Foundation has made a concerted effort to assist non-profits in becoming stronger and self-sustaining. An evaluation of this effort is currently being conducted and the fellowship recipient could assist the Foundation in implementing lessons that are learned.


• Shelter - The housing crisis in our urban and rural communities has increased. A fellowship recipient could focus on how the Foundation can increase support to address the housing and shelter needs of communities.


• Restorative Justice - This movement is gaining momentum and offers opportunities for further learning. A fellowship recipient could explore the possibilities to develop the model further as well as to assess some of the implications and what lessons have been learned.


• Health - Serious health disparities exist for communities of color. A fellowship recipient could research this crisis and help the Foundation develop strategies to consider.
