Renewal Fellowship
In 2005 the Metcalf Foundation launched its Renewal Fellowship initiative. The purpose was to support, celebrate and strengthen exceptional senior leaders in the community-based sector who have demonstrated outstanding work and a long-term commitment to improving social conditions and opportunities for low-income people. It was designed as a six month sabbatical opportunity intended to provide individuals with time for intellectual and personal renewal. Many worthy leaders benefited from this unique initiative, and the Foundation learned a great deal about the role sabbaticals can play in personal and professional vitality. In the fall of 2009, the Foundation determined it was time to conclude the Renewal Fellowship program in its format.
The Metcalf Foundation remains committed to supporting exceptional individuals as they do their very best work in nonprofit organizations. In early 2010, the Foundation announced the launch of the new Metcalf Renewal Program that will help to make opportunities for professional renewal accessible to talented individuals with a record of achievement.
