Maybach family foundation

The Maybach Mentorship Program is an investment in the world’s outstanding young leaders. More than one-fifth of the world’s population is between the ages of 15 and 24 with the vast majority living in less-developed countries.

The program aims to support emerging young leaders from across the globe, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds who, if provided with the connection to the appropriate mentor, scholarship and opportunities, could take their place as innovators in different countries and professions. Reflecting the heritage of Maybach, the program will involve individuals and organizations from both creative and business-related fields.

We encourage you to download our brochure, and we invite those qualified to download applications and other documents for submission.

Selection Process for Protégés and Mentors

Protégé Nomination Forms and Documents:

Applicants, please read all instructions carefully before completing any forms, to be sure you qualify. Qualifying nominations will be reviewed by selection panels on a rolling basis. However, owing to the MFF's small size and limited number of proteges accepted for support each year, the MFF may opt not to review, or to delay review of, nominations that do not match our program rollout plans. We will seek to notify nominating organizations promptly in these cases.

The Maybach Family Foundation currently seeks protégé nominations in the field of photography for a documentary arts project in New York City beginning in 2008. For further details please read the full announcement, downloadable in PDF format.
