FoundationThe David and Lucile Packard Foundation is where the
Program Analyst will work. The Packard Foundation was established
in 1964. David and Lucile Packard believed that along with
universities, national institutions, community groups, youth
agencies, family planning centers, and hospitals, foundations
constitute a great American tradition that complements government
efforts to focus on society's needs. The Foundation's mission is to
work with people and communities to create enduring solutions for
just societies and a healthy, resilient natural world. Through a
recent strategic planning process, the Foundation identified three
overarching, interdependent goals to guide the Foundation's work:
Protect and Restore Our Natural World, Invest in Families and
Communities, and Build Just Societies.About the Democracy Rights
and Governance Initiative. The goal of the Democracy, Rights, and
Governance Initiative (DRG) is to support a thriving, resilient,
pro-equity democracy in the United States. While this is a new
initiative at the Packard Foundation, initial focus areas include
supporting election integrity; supporting effective governance and
bolstering faith in the institutions of government; repairing the
United States' social fabric; and supporting the field in
developing a positive, long-term future vision of U.S. democracy.
The Democracy, Rights, and Governance initiative sits within the
Packard Foundation's goal to "Build Just Societies," which are key
to supporting families and communities and protecting our natural
world. When the institutions, structures, policies, and practices
that form societies are inclusive and fair, they create conditions
for more sustained progress on issues such as racial equity,
reproductive rights, and a strong civil society and thriving civic
space. About the PartnershipThe UC Berkeley-Haas School of Business
(through the Center for Social Sector Leadership) offers this
unique fellowship in philanthropy at the David and Lucile Packard
Foundation to provide next generation leaders the opportunity to
engage with philanthropic and nonprofit leaders and work with a
grantmaking team serving diverse issues and populations.The vision
for this partnership is to strengthen the future of philanthropy
and civil society by providing recent graduates from diverse
disciplines and backgrounds a professional-level introduction to
philanthropy and the nonprofit sector. The goals of the fellowship
are to 1) introduce recent graduates to philanthropy and the role
of nonprofits to strengthen their impact in a future career and 2)
introduce the Foundation to fresh ideas, new skills, and diverse
perspectives. The Program Analyst will join a cohort of six other
Philanthropy fellows at the Foundation working on environment &
science, families and communities, reproductive health, civil
society and leadership, and US racial justice. There will be
quarterly activities for the cohort of fellows.Application Review
