North Carolina Nonprofit Leaders Invited to Apply for Reynolds Foundation Sabbatical Program

Since 1991, the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation sabbatical program has honored leaders of nonprofit organizations in North Carolina for their dedicated service and commitment to the sector.

The program will fund sabbaticals of three to six months during which nonprofit leaders take a leave of absence from the organizations at which they work. Sabbatical recipients use this time to engage in non-professional development activities of their own choosing to aid in personal renewal and growth.

Eligible applicants are individuals in paid, full-time leadership positions who have served their North Carolina nonprofit organizations for at least three years, two of which as leaders. Preference is given to individuals with at least five years of experience with their organization. Individuals who work for statewide, regional, or local nonprofit organizations may apply. This program is not designed for career public school, college, university, or government employees.

Every year, five nonprofit leaders receive sabbatical awards of $25,000 each. The sabbatical must begin before April of the year after selection and last for one continuous period of three to six months.
