Mentoring is about harnessing the philanthropic sector’s skills to benefit the next generation of fundraising leaders!

Our chapter’s mentorship program was created to support the personal and professional development of our members by providing access to an experienced veteran with in-depth knowledge and skills who can provide guidance and personalized support.

The mentor aims to develop excellence standards to make you a better philanthropy professional. He or she has a number of different objectives:

  • Build your confidence
  • Help clarify the goals you are pursuing
  • Help you develop to your full potential
  • Offer counsel on the basis of shared confidential information
  • Provide new knowledge
  • Expand your network

The mentor’s main role is more than answering questions, but prompting you to think differently and to evolve in a new direction with a focus on your social skills and your well-being.

2024 Program

The mentoring program has resulted in many matches over the years. We invite you to take a look at the 2024 Mentorship Program.

Exceptionally this year, in order to accommodate members from Sancio who are interested in the Mentorship Program, we will be accepting new application forms until February 16, 2024. Meetings between mentors and mentees will begin in early March 2024, a shortened period this year.
