LAF Fellowship for Innovation and Leadership 2026–27

The LAF Fellowship for Innovation and Leadership is a prestigious, year-long initiative hosted by the Landscape Architecture Foundation (LAF). Designed to catalyze environmental and social innovation, this fellowship empowers mid- to senior-level landscape architecture professionals to pursue visionary, transformative projects. Selected fellows are awarded $25,000 to dedicate approximately twelve weeks away from regular work duties—spread over a year—to develop their self-directed initiatives aimed at strengthening the discipline’s resilience, equity, and design impact.

Over the course of the fellowship, participants join a close-knit cohort—typically six individuals—who convene for three intensive 2.5-day residencies. These residencies serve as a platform for peer review, leadership coaching, and iterative refinement of each fellow’s project. Grounded in systems thinking, each session challenges participants to think expansively about how their ideas can positively shape public space, community engagement, environmental stewardship, or urban policy. Between gatherings, fellows engage in monthly virtual check-ins, a winter “mini-residency,” and one-on-one mentorship that sustain momentum, accountability, and progressive iteration.
