Intensive Coaching in Nonprofit Fundraising and Philanthropy

The Texas Instruments Founders Leadership Fellow receives intensive formal coaching in nonprofit fundraising and donor-centered philanthropy via residencies on each team within the Office of Development and Alumni Relations, with all goals and objectives established at the onset of each fellowship and reviewed on an ongoing basis.

During each residency, the fellow learns fundraising tools and their applications, developing skills relevant in higher education and transferrable to other nonprofit settings.

After completing their initial team-specific residencies, the fellow will select one team to work with for the remainder of their fellowship, as guided by area(s) of interest. By the fellowship’s end, each fellow will demonstrate understanding and proficiency of philanthropy impact and engagement strategies.
