Gratitude Network is a capacity-building intermediary that accelerates impact for nonprofits serving children and youth by running a selective, 13‑month Fellowship and offering fee-for-service and self-paced capacity-building programs. Rather than making unrestricted cash grants, it provides high-value in-kind supports—executive coaching, scaling tools, peer learning, and curated fundraising leads—and subsidizes Fellowship tuition for many participants. Their reach is global with heavy representation from Africa, and they prioritize organizations with demonstrated scaling potential and strong leadership.
Primarily non‑cash support delivered through a highly selective, cohort-based Fellowship (13 months) and open, asynchronous learning (Springboard); supplemental fee‑for‑service engagements and donor‑sponsored Fellowship seats. Fellowship applications run on a published cycle with tiered tuition and significant scholarship support (~65% of Fellows), while custom services and Ambassador sponsorships are available on a rolling/by‑inquiry basis. Access to curated grant leads and some benefits is invite‑only and tied to Fellowship participation.

Apply to the Fellowship during the published cycle (historical Part 1 Nov–Feb, Part 2 late Feb); the program is highly competitive—highlight organizational scaling trajectory, measurable outcomes for children/youth, and strong CEO leadership. For organizations not selected, inquire about Custom Services or the Springboard program (rolling/on‑demand); donors can sponsor Fellowship seats via the Ambassador program. Expect in‑kind supports rather than unrestricted cash; emphasize readiness to scale and clear impact metrics in any application or inquiry.
