Central
New York Community Foundation Accepting Applications for Sabbatical
May 21, 2014 – The Central New York Community Foundation
invites executive directors and senior management staff of nonprofit
organizations in Onondaga and Madison counties to apply for the 2014 John F.
Marsellus Sabbatical. The
applications will be accepted on a rolling basis. There is no deadline for
submission of applications.
The Marsellus Sabbatical offers nonprofit executive
directors and senior management staff the choice between a four-week or an
abridged two-week sabbatical for professional development and personal renewal.
The sabbatical is designed for a nonprofit executive to partake in professional
and personal development that stimulates a process of enrichment, refreshment
and renewal. In addition to the cost of the sabbatical, $1,000 - $2,000 may be
available to the recipients’ organizations to support administrative and other
expenses incurred while the Executive Director is absent.
The Community Foundation invites executive directors and
senior management staff of nonprofit organizations in Onondaga and Madison
counties to apply for either a four- or two-week sabbatical. Applicants must have
served in a senior management position of a nonprofit organization in Onondaga
or Madison counties for at least five consecutive years and have the approval
of the board of directors of their agency. The application guidelines can be
viewed on the Community Foundation’s web site at www.cnycf.org/marsellus or may be obtained by calling the Community
Foundation at (315) 422-9538.
This annual grant was established in 2000 in memory of John
F. Marsellus, who wished to enhance the leadership capacity of nonprofit
executives in Central New York by underwriting an opportunity for personal and
professional reflection and development.
