Boulder, Colo. (December 21, 2005) –
The Community Foundation’s Director of Programs
has been chosen as a Diversity Fellow at the Center on
Philanthropy and Civil Society to study relationships
between the philanthropic community and Native American
communities.
Carly Hare, Director of Programs for The Community Foundation
Serving Boulder County, has been selected as one of the
Diversity Fellows for the Center on Philanthropy and Civil
Society’s 2006 Emerging Leaders International Fellows
Program. As a Diversity Fellow, Carly has been selected
to be one of two representatives from an under-represented
community of color in the grantmaking sector in the United
States. Carly is an enrolled member of the Pawnee Nation
of Oklahoma and descendent of the Yankton Tribe.
“We are proud that Carly has been chosen to participate
in this extraordinary program,” said Josie Heath,
President of The Community Foundation. “At its completion,
we will welcome Carly back knowing she has gained knowledge
and expertise that will broaden her role in serving her
community and Boulder County and beyond.”
This fellowship, made possible through the support of
the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, provides leadership
training through applied research and professional mentorships
for young scholar-practitioners in the nonprofit sector.
The fellowship appointment will run from Wednesday, March
1 through Wednesday, May 31, 2006. During the period as
a Mott International Fellow, Carly will be affiliated
with the Center on Philanthropy and Civil Society at The
Graduate Center of The City University of New York.
Fellows will be expected to complete a research paper,
to participate in a graduate-level seminar on philanthropy
and community foundations, and to participate in regularly
scheduled meetings and other activities. Carly Hare’s
research will address the relationships between the philanthropic
community and Native American communities.
Below is a summary of her proposed project:
Crossing the Divide: Philanthropy and the Native American
Community is a look into the current and future role of
philanthropy and community foundations within Native American
communities. Carly will examine current efforts and research,
while developing a model and guide for reciprocal relationships
between the grantmaking sector and Native worlds. The
solution is not just a matter of cultural competency but
integrating Native integrity and culture into a new model
of community foundations.
