Welcome to the Bellagio Center Convening Pre-Application Questionnaire. Your responses will determine if your organization is eligible to host a convening at the Bellagio Center, and if your convening idea is potentially a fit for the Convening Program. If you are eligible and if the convening idea is a potential fit for the program, at the conclusion of this questionnaire there will be instructions for how to access the Expression of Interest.

The Expression of Interest is the second step in the application process, and will help to further identify the convening proposals whose intended impact align with The Rockefeller Foundation and the Convening Program’s overarching goals. Please be advised that applications for anything other than a convening (e.g., a residency, fellowship, or grant) will be declined without review.

The questions below apply to your organization and all all key personnel of the organization that is applying to host the convening ("Applicant Individuals"), which include include senior leadership at your organization, the individuals on the team organizing this convening, and the person submitting this application. All convenings must be supported and hosted by an organization. Individuals without organizational support are ineligible to host a convening at the Bellagio Center.
