Grants
Given that ZSR’s emerging direction will take 12 to 18 months to be fully developed and implemented, our upcoming fall 2017 grant cycle will mark the beginning of the Foundation’s transition and will be the last grant cycle based on our current focus area descriptions. Therefore, ZSR Trustees have made the decision that ZSR’s fall 2017 grant cycle will be closed and by invitation-only.

Non-Profit Internship Program
In an effort to diversify the pool of young nonprofit professionals in North Carolina, the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation established the Non-Profit Internship Program (NPIP) in 2011. Each summer the program awards up to 20 college and university students with paid internships at ZSR-grantee organizations that are working to advance the Foundation’s values.

Sabbatical Program
Paid sabbaticals offer individuals the opportunity to devote themselves to self-revitalization. It is the Foundation’s hope that sabbatical recipients return recommitted to the challenges and rewards of public service and thus prolong their tenure in the nonprofit sector.
