The Central New York Community Foundation has enhanced the offerings available to those who apply for the John F. Marsellus Sabbatical. The sabbatical program, which traditionally awards grants exclusively toward four-week sabbaticals for nonprofit executive directors and senior management staff in Onondaga and Madison Counties, is now offering an abridged two-week program as well.

The new two-week sabbatical offering was introduced after nonprofit executives were surveyed on their preferences for a sabbatical program. The four- and two-week options both allow time for personal reflection and professional development.

The foundation invites executive directors and senior management staff of nonprofit organizations in Onondaga and Madison counties to apply for either a four- or two-week sabbatical by Oct. 31. Applicants must have served in a senior management position of a nonprofit organization in Onondaga or Madison counties for at least five consecutive years and have the approval of the board of directors of their agency. The application guidelines can be viewed on the Community Foundation’s web site at cnycf.org/grants or may be obtained by calling the Community Foundation at (315) 422-9538.
