GROWING THE NEXT GENERATION OF NONPROFIT EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP

Silicon Valley Next is a collaborative approach to develop high potential
leaders for nonprofits serving our local community. A select cohort of Fellows –
all individuals deeply rooted in the community – receive training, coaching,
peer support, and other investments to prepare them for executive leadership.

Silicon Valley Next Fellows serve in their current org chart at one or two
levels below the Executive Director/CEO role and have all been identified as
individuals who could plausibly ascend to the top leadership role in an
organization within the next five years. We also will consider leaders who have
only very recently ascended into the top role in their organization.

This collaboration is led by Consulting Within Reach and funded by
Heising-Simons Foundation, Sobrato Family Foundation, Morgan Family Foundation,
Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative, and Silicon Valley Community Foundation. Thanks also
to the Knight Foundation for its past support. Participating nonprofits include
agencies widely recognized as critical to our region. The program has been
featured by the Stanford Social Innovation Review as a new paradigm for
leadership development in our sector.

The inaugural program was completed in December of 2020 and subsequent cohorts
have continued to demonstrate the success of this program. For instance, one
quarter of the original cohort have since become new Executive Directors/CEO’s
of key nonprofits (all of them are people of color).

Prospective Fellows are identified through a nomination process in our extended
network. We do not take unsolicited applications. There is no cost to the
program for the Fellows, as SVN relies on the generosity of our funders.

The commitment required of participating Fellows is centered around a monthly
retreat that is a daylong experience. In addition, Fellows participate in a
monthly executive coaching session and also a monthly peer coaching session. All
told, the total time commitment is about 8 hours per month.
