Echoing Green Opens Application Period for Social Entrepreneur Fellowships

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Each year, Echoing Green awards twelve to fifteen two-year fellowships to social

entrepreneurs.

Fellows receive seed funding and technical support to turn their innovative

ideas into sustainable social change organizations.

 

 

 

Echoing Green seeks individuals or partnerships (organizations led by two

people) with innovative solutions to significant social

problems; strategies to create high-impact, sustainable change in people's

lives; and the ability to grow and lead a new organization.

 

 

 

The application process is open to citizens of all nationalities working in any

country. Applicants must be 18 years of age or older,

and must have sufficient English fluency to participate in interviews and

Echoing Green events.

 

 

 

Organizations must be the original idea of the applicant, and must

be independent and autonomous. (Organizations cannot be considered

independent or autonomous if they are started under the direction of an

existing organization.) Organizations must be in a start-up phase. To

 

be considered a start-up, the applicant may have been running the

organization full-time for approximately two years, and Echoing Green's

financial support should qualify it as a major/primary early funder.

Applicants who have only worked on their organization on a part-time

 

basis or have yet to start an organization are generally considered

eligible. Applicants must make a full-time commitment to the

organization's development.

 

 

Fellows receive up to $90,000 ($60,000 for individuals and $90,000

for partnerships of two people) in seed funding over two years.

information, application materials, and profiles of fellows and their

projects.
