Deadline: 14-Aug-2024
Anchorage, Alaska – Leaders of Alaska nonprofit organizations and tribes are invited to apply for a Sabbatical Award.
The Sabbatical Program provides tribal executives and nonprofit CEOs/executive directors with time away from the office for rest and personal renewal.
The Foundation believes nonprofit CEOs/executive directors and tribal administrators are able to serve their organizations better when they have taken extended time away to refresh and reflect on their work, gain insight into what they want to accomplish in their careers, learn better ways to run their organizations and renew their personal energy. According to a 2016 study supported in part by Rasmuson Foundation, sabbaticals can help executives return to their jobs with renewed enthusiasm and allow their organizations to nurture up-and-coming talent within their ranks.
Funding Information
- Each recipient will have 90 to 120 continuous days in the coming year to unplug from demanding jobs. The award amount in the coming cycle is $50,000. These grants to the individual’s organization help cover the leader’s salary, interim team, and costs of travel and other experiences during the time off from work.
Eligibility Criteria
- The applicant must be an Alaskan resident with at least seven years of experience in the nonprofit sector or with a tribal organization and at least five years of experience in their current position.
- The organization must be an Alaska 501(c)(3) nonprofit or tribal entity.
- The applicant must be the full-time CEO, executive director, or tribal administrator of their organization.
- An individual who already received a Rasmuson Foundation sabbatical award is not eligible for another one.
