These fellowships enjoy strong Columbia Business School community support, and funds are raised by students to support their fellow MBAs every year during fellowship fundraising week with support from staff, faculty, alumni, and supporters of the Program. A gift from the class of 2003 endows around 5 internships annually. In 2015, an endowment enabled the expansion of this program to students across Columbia University, including Barnard and Teachers Colleges, for internships with social ventures.
