About this opportunity

Gloria's Foundation keeps Gloria Steinem's New York City apartment, her home since 1967 and the birthplace of Ms. magazine and many other organisations, open as a working space for activists and organisers. Its 2027 Fellowship picks two activists, artists, change-makers or creative thinkers whose work or independent project centres on justice, and gives them a $5,000 stipend, regular use of the space and a year inside the Foundation's community. The Fellowship runs January to December 2027 and fellows must be based in the New York City metropolitan area.

What you get:

A $5,000 stipend
Use of the Foundation's space on the Upper East Side twice a month, 9am to 6pm, with an office, a Mac desktop and a printer
Lunch provided on the days you work on site
Access to the Foundation's library during visits
Support from the Foundation's team and community-building with others connected to the Fellowship
Invitations to the Foundation's Talking Circle programme

Host up to two Talking Circles of your own, choosing the topic and inviting up to five guests with the Foundation team's approval, scheduled two months in advance
