Program Overview

The purpose of the Integral Fellows Award is to recognize and support a Microsoft alumnus who has made a meaningful difference in the lives of others by using his/her talents, time and resources to contribute to the world.  Again this year, up to four alumni will receive a $25K award to go to the nonprofit organization with which they work in the form of a one-year, unrestricted grant.

We believe that our alumni are achieving measureable results in many capacities.  They may have started a nonprofit organization or they may be an exceptional volunteer or manager.  Their organization may be just starting to make a significant impact, and with additional help may be ready to scale.  Or they may be well established, scalable and now achieving global success.  This success may be a result of technology deployment or operational effectiveness.  We know there are other significant achievements beyond what we have described above; we would love to have you share them with us!

Our 2010 Microsoft Alumni Foundation Integral Fellows – Richard Gold, Cliff Schmidt and Frank Schott demonstrate the qualities of what this Award celebrates – alumni who have dedicated their lives to creating something extraordinary to help address challenges around the world.  They are inspiring.  Their dedication, passion and commitment have resulted in measurable, positive changes and we are extremely proud of them.

We are honored to be this year’s Committee Co-Chairs and we look forward to working with you to identify our fellow alumni who embody the spirit of this Award.  For more information, please contact us at info@microsoftalumni.org .  

Sincerely, 

Sharon V. Maghie and Steve M. Wells, Co-Chairs
