The Haas Center’s Fellowship in Philanthropy provides Stanford students with full-time placements in various Bay Area foundations to develop their understanding of and interests in philanthropy. Steve Ko, one of the fellows and a recent graduate at Stanford, has been with us since the beginning of the summer. He has been learning a great deal about the Chao Foundation, and has been working on a project to revamp East Villager’s Internship Program for the upcoming year.
One of the required components of the fellowship is a site visit, which allows the fellows to visit one another’s placement sites and gain a diverse perspective on foundations. It was our turn to host the fellows a couple of weeks ago, so all of the fellows were invited into our Palo Alto office. Steve prepared a presentation introducing the Chao Foundation, and the fellows got to hear Mr. and Mrs. Chao and Nancy share their stories on how they got involved in philanthropy. It was a time of meaningful exchange for both the staff and the students!
