MOUNTAINTOP ANGLICAN FELLOWSHIP
Mountaintop International has partnered with Trinity Church Wall Street Philanthropies to support emerging Anglican leaders across the world through the Mountaintop Anglican Fellowship. In 2024, Mountaintop selected six Anglican Fellows as part of a pilot program. The Mountaintop Anglican Fellowship supports Anglicans across Africa and beyond to deepen and scale systems impact in their home countries.
The Mountaintop Anglican Fellowship is a two-year track within Mountaintop's flagship fellowship program, and Anglican Fellows receive all the benefits of the standard one-year fellowship and Trinity Church Wall Street's Faith Leadership Campus program, a one year online leadership course that includes regular facilitated reflection activities. Selected Fellows will complete the Faith Leadership Campus August 2025 - July 2026, attend the Leadership Institute July 2026, and will receive $300/month grant payments from August 2026 - July 2027.
Given grant timelines for this program, Anglican Fellow candidates will be considered on a rolling basis. For those interested in being considered for the Anglican Fellowship, simply complete the standard fellowship application, mark that you are Anglican or Episcopalian on your application, and complete a short response describing your relation to your faith. If your application is submitted by November 8th, you will be considered for both the standard fellowship and for the Anglican Fellowship.
