Investing in Progressive Campaign and Capitol Hill Staff

LOFT was created in collaboration with the University of Michigan and Georgetown University to support the skills of talented senior campaign and public service leaders.

What if our country’s campaign and public service leaders had the benefit of the leadership, management, and operational best practices taught at the world-renowned business schools? This was the spark that launched the LOFT Fellowship. Fast-moving careers don’t leave much room for professional development. And cobbling together a living during the off-year puts a lot of pressure on top talent. We’ve designed the LOFT Fellowship to give the best campaign and public service leaders a structured way to hone their skills while receiving a salary and benefits that offer peace of mind.
