The Patterson Foundation has selected Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy at IUPUI students Kellie Alexander and Rachel Ploss to become the newest members of its fellows program. The two master of arts in philanthropic studies graduates will participate in a year-long opportunity for aspiring philanthropic leaders to gain experience and learn philanthropic principles while contributing to initiatives strengthening people, organizations and communities.

In addition to collaborating at The Patterson Foundation, Alexander and Ploss will have opportunities to connect with former and incoming TPF fellows during their experience. This is the fourth fellows cohort welcomed by The Patterson Foundation since the Program started in 2018. Alexander and Ploss will begin their experience with The Patterson Foundation in Sarasota this summer.
