Big news! We are honored to announce a $120,000 one year gift from Trinity Church Wall Street Philanthropies. In partnership with the innovative team at Trinity including Rob G., Maria Guzman, MPA, and Tony T. R. Lin, Mountaintop is launching the Mountaintop Anglican Fellowship, a new track for some of the world’s most inspiring emerging Anglican leaders. For our first cohort, we will provide a full-time 12-month stipend, 1:1 mentorship, online coursework, and an in-person Leadership Institute in the United States for six Anglican Fellows who are leading social ventures in their home communities across Sub-Saharan Africa. Thanks to Trinity Wall Street Philanthropies, these Fellows will be able to deepen and scale their impact, reaching thousands more community members with initiatives spanning education, public health, workforce development, and women’s empowerment. As a nonpartisan secular organization that is inspired by faith traditions around the world, we are grateful to work hand in hand with individuals and organizations across the religious spectrum to help inspiring leaders reach their full transformational potential. With catalytic partners like Trinity and our growing community of donors who have put their trust in us, we are expanding our work to activate systems-changing local leadership worldwide! https://lnkd.in/gN6EiMhw

Congratulations to our newest Fellow, Morlu Dominic Kpalie! Currently, Dominic is the Founder and Executive Director of the Institute for Quality Research & Development (IQRD) Inc., which specializes in conducting qualitative and quantitative research in Liberia with a primary focus on studying women's political participation in elections. For his fellowship, Dominic will be serving as Associate Research Manager with NEPI INC, an international award winning nonprofit using cognitive behavioral therapy and conditional cash transfers to transform the lives of at-risk young men in Monrovia.
