The Peter Bird Martin Fellowship

The Peter Bird Martin Fellowship

We are thrilled to announce that Lucretia Martin, widow of longtime Executive Director Peter Bird Martin, is contributing the lead gift for the establishment of a permanent Peter Bird Martin Fellowship in honor of Peter and his vital contributions to the institute during his quarter-century tenure. 

In addition to Lu’s magnificent gift, the institute has received many other generous donations to the fellowship fund, which now stands at $1.2 million!

The fellowship will be a traditional one, as we think Peter would have liked: open to the study of any topics in any country or region of the world.

Your donation:

Please join us honoring Peter! We’re now in reach of our target of $1.5 million, which would endow the fellowship in perpetuity, with the aim of appointing the inaugural Peter Bird Martin fellow in December 2023, and others every two years thereafter.

Donations of any amount bring us closer to our goal. Please contribute here:

Peter Martin

A former fellow in Africa in the 1950s who went on to a brilliant career as a Time Magazine senior editor and a founding editor of Money Magazine before he took over ICWA’s helm from 1978 to 2007, Peter became a formative influence in the lives of the fellows he mentored, edited, traveled to meet and support during his tenure. Please help us carry on his tradition.
