Update on 2009 – 2011 Carol H. Pitchersky Development FellowIn the fall of 2009, Chanel Haliburton began her two-year term as the Carol H. Pitchersky Development Fellow with the ACLU National Office, in New York City. As the host organization of the 2009-2011 Fellow, the ACLU provided Chanel with a dynamic environment to advance her skills in fundraising. Chanel focused on major gift giving and worked on the ACLU’s successful Leading Freedom Forward Campaign. In September 2010 Chanel continued her Fellowship journey by joining the development office of the NAACP. Both organizations are active members of the civil and human rights coalition.

About the Fellowship The Carol H. Pitchersky Development Fellowship was established by The Education Fund to honor Carol H. Pitchersky, a civil rights fundraising pioneer who passed away in 2004. The purpose of the Fellowship is threefold:
The Fellowship program identifies and supports persons of color who are U.S. citizens with at least an undergraduate degree, who are aspiring development professionals, have demonstrated a commitment to civil rights and social justice, and wish to advance their careers in nonprofit fundraising. Every other year, beginning in May 2006, a Fellowship will be awarded to an aspiring development professional of color. The award consists of a two-year or lengthier placement at a civil rights or human rights organization. The host organization will be selected from one of the more than 200 members of The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights or an organization in the broader social justice and cultural communities that Carol served. During this period, the Fellow will serve as a member of the fundraising team in the host organization, assist in development operations, receive mentoring, and deepen his/her knowledge and understanding of the social justice community.
