tax fairness
fellowship
"Tax the rich" is going from slogan to serious policy. The global tax justice movement now needs a wide range of skillsets to turn momentum into legislation: tax specialists, economists, communicators, and coalition builders.
The Global Tax Fairness Fellowship puts you inside the organizations leading this work across the US, Canada, Europe, and Kenya. Seven months, a full salary, and a cohort of ambitious professionals from four continents. And most importantly: you start contributing from day one.
The Program
Seven months. A full salary. A direct path into the global tax justice movement.
Selection
Our application process focuses on skills over credentials, with multiple rounds to identify the right talent.
Training
One month of intensive preparation in the Netherlands: international tax law, policy strategy, coalition building, stakeholder engagement, and narrative change.
Placement
Six months inside a leading tax justice organization. Not an internship — live policy, active campaigns, real challenges from day one. You're matched based on your skills and the organization's needs.
Guidance
Regular sessions with your cohort throughout the placement. Share what you're learning, work through challenges together, and build a network that lasts beyond the program.
Outflow
80% of our first cohort stayed in the field they entered. We ensure you keep access to an unmatched network, and provide ongoing career support to help you land your next role.

Why tax fairness?
Ultra-rich individuals pay lower effective tax rates than the middle class. Corporations shift profits across borders to avoid paying anything at all. The result: public services starved, inequality locked in.
We have a chance to move "tax the rich" from slogan to serious policy. 70+ countries are now pushing for reform, and a large majority of people support taxing the ultra-wealthy. The movement has momentum — what it needs is people. This fellowship puts you in the room.
