The 2008-09 Koch Associate Program: Developing Non-Profit Leaders and Entrepreneurs
The Charles G. Koch Charitable Foundation is seeking promising leaders and entrepreneurs interested in liberty for its Koch Associate Program. During the year-long program, Associates develop the knowledge, skills, and experience necessary for careers with market-oriented think tanks, policy institutes, and other non-profit organizations.
Associates spend one day a week at the Koch Foundation immersed in a curriculum on Market-Based Management® (MBM®), a management philosophy that enables an organization to succeed long term by applying the principles that cause a free society to prosper. Through the program, they learn how to apply MBM principles to non-profit organizations to make them more efficient and effective. The rest of their time is spent at a full-time position at a non-profit organization in the Washington, DC area, working on significant assignments. The non-profit positions cover fascinating fields such as: policy research and analysis, marketing and communications, development and donor relations, non-profit operations and project management, leadership and talent development, and grassroots education.
Associates range in experience level from recent graduates to those with a decade of work experience. They come from private sector, government, graduate school, military, and non-profit backgrounds, bringing a variety of perspectives to the program. This blend of participants, combined with the MBM curriculum and the diverse experiences the Associates have in their non-profit assignments, creates a unique learning opportunity unparalleled in other development programs.
The Koch Associate Program is highly competitive and selects only the most promising candidates. The Foundation looks for the following attributes in a potential Associate: zero to ten years of work experience, commitment to liberty, leadership ability/entrepreneurial spirit, solid academic record, strong interest in a non-profit sector career, minimum of a bachelor’s degree, humility, integrity, and a self-starter attitude.
The Koch Associate Program is a full-time program. Associates receive a competitive wage and benefits package commensurate with experience. We are an equal opportunity employer. M/F/D/V
