Program Cost
Each participant will be required to pay a program fee of $5,000 to $10,000, depending on the organization’s budget (see table below), which can be paid over the two year period of the program. The fee goes toward the program cost, the small peer group meetings, and the NeighborWorks Training Institute at the end of the program. Tuition and consulting time, as well as accommodations and meals during the Harvard sessions, are included in the cost of the program.

In a very real and explicit sense, the "price" of your participation is the time; effort, work and commitment you bring to the challenge you define. We will expect you to devote a substantial amount of energy and thought to really solving your challenge and mining this opportunity. In exchange for the substantial real costs we are subsidizing, we demand that you perform against this challenge and that you also provide us and future participants with feedback on your experience.
Beyond the tuition and the contribution from NeighborWorks America, Fannie Mae is the sole sponsor of this program. Many thanks to Fannie Mae for their generous support.
