The Impact100 DC Fellowship program advances our commitment to building a community with diverse voices and perspectives by providing a path to women ages 21-39 who are interested in philanthropy but currently lack the financial resources to join us.
Impact100 DC fellows contribute to our mission in a variety of ways – from serving on our grant review committees to amplifying our outreach to helping organize events. The fellowship is for one year, with an option to apply for a second year.
The application deadline for 2024 Fellows was November 1st.
Applicants must be between the ages of 21 and 39 and identify as a woman. The must live or work in Washington, DC; the counties of Montgomery, Prince George’s, Fairfax, and Arlington; or the cities of Alexandria, Fairfax or Falls Church.
No. Those awarded a fellowship receive a full, one-year $1,000 membership to Impact100 DC.
Fellows commit to being actively involved during the course of their term. There are many ways to contribute, based on the fellows’ interests and skills, as well as on the needs of our organization. For example, current fellows serve on grant review committees, help with communications and social media, participate in membership recruitment efforts, and/or help with events.
