Nonprofit, local, regional, and national conservation organizations that work on western public lands policy issues are encouraged to apply to host 2-year, grant-funded, Wyss Fellow positions.

Sponsoring organizations contribute staff time to mentor and monitor the Fellow’s work, overhead expenses, and 20% of the Fellow’s salary and benefits. The Wyss Foundation provides host organizations a grant for programmatic support (project expenses and travel), and 80% of the Fellow’s salary and benefits. Host organizations are responsible for the selection and hiring of the Fellow.

Applications to host 2011 Wyss Fellows will be due in March 2011. Proposal guidelines and additional details are available at Apply.
