Nathan Cummings Offering $100,000 Fellowships

The Nathan Cummings Foundation is proud to introduce The Nathan Cummings Foundation Fellowship. Three visionaries will receive $100,000 each for one year and the office space needed to turn an inspired idea into a game-changing reality. Successful applicants will be proven risk-takers who are ready to build on the Foundation's strengths, question our assumptions, and be open to new approaches

Fellows' projects will be expected to build on the foundation's current portfolio by pushing beyond its boundaries and opening productive new lines of inquiry; asking provocative questions; challenging conventional wisdom; and developing new ideas, approaches and strategies.

The Nathan Cummings Foundation values diversity; all qualified applicants will be considered without regard to ethnicity, religion, gender, pregnancy, sexual orientation, national origin, marital status, disability, veteran status or any protected characteristics as established under law. However, each applicant must be a U.S. citizen, work from the foundation's office in New York City, have a track record of risk-taking, out-of-the-box thinking, and a proven ability to turn ideas into action. Applications are due by September 14, 2012.
