Field Fellows
The Field Foundation Fellowship is a premier opportunity in philanthropy open to graduate students in Chicago. Fellows have an opportunity to learn about and participate in the foundation’s work: supporting community power building in Chicago by investing in civic infrastructure, the cultural sector, local news outlets, and organizers. They gain exposure to a wide range of social and economic issues while discovering trends in the nonprofit sector.
Fellows are chosen each year, and we are currently accepting applications through March 31. Meet some of our most recent Field Fellows below.

“I learned to approach grantmaking not as a transactional process but as a collaborative effort to uplift communities.”
