Why Donate?

Fellow from AIDS Action Committee

One of the most important aspects of the Emerging Leaders Program is that we enhance cross-sector networking. In our research we found that leadership development strategies that work for businesses also work for nonprofits and for those in the public sector—all face similar issues and all benefit from knowing and working with those in other sectors. Our Fellows find enormous value in expanding their networks so that emerging leaders in business network more frequently with those in nonprofits and with those in other business fields. The synergies created are an unanticipated but profound finding. When emerging leaders become more familiar with other sectors, understanding is enhanced and new and lasting connections are forged.

However, while corporations can afford to offer professional development opportunities to their employees, non-profit and public sectors cannot. Nominees from non-profit and government organizations need help with funding, and we ask for your support to provide scholarships for these emerging leaders.

“I feel like I have really had a chance to learn about Boston, the individual communities, its leaders and people. I have been exposed to a variety of companies and industries that operate in and around Boston. Participation in the ELP has made me empowered to really get involved not only in my workplace but my community as well. ”
