Help Make Leadership Possible for Everyone

Support the Leadership Brookings Scholarship Fund

Leadership Brookings is more than a program — it’s a launchpad for local leaders who want to make a difference in their workplaces and in our community.

This year, we’re introducing a scholarship fund to help cover up to half the tuition for participants who may not have access to a professional development budget — such as small business owners and nonprofit staff.

How You Can Help:

We’re inviting alumni and community members to contribute to this scholarship fund. 

Whether it’s $5, $25, or $250, 100% of your gift goes directly toward scholarship awards. Every dollar helps us reduce barriers and welcome more voices into the Leadership Brookings experience.

A Few Important Notes:

• The total amount raised will determine how many scholarships we’re able to award this year.
• Any donations beyond our 2025 goal will be rolled over into next year’s scholarship fund — so your support keeps having an impact.

Why It Matters:

• Leadership Brookings is a way to grow community-minded leaders who understand how our region works — and how to lead within it.
• Not every great leader has the budget to invest in themselves. That’s where this scholarship fund comes in. 
• Supporting this campaign means giving someone the opportunity to show up, grow, and lead — in business, in service, and in life.

Help us make leadership more inclusive and more accessible. Because when one leader rises, we all benefit.
