Echoing
Green will award twelve to twenty two-year fellowships to social
entrepreneurs around the world in 2012. The fellowships provide
start-up capital and technical assistance to help new leaders launch social
enterprises and build the capacity of their social enterprise.
The
program seeks individuals or partnerships (organizations led by two people)
with innovative solutions to significant social problems, strategies designed
to create high-impact and 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 fluent enough in English to participate in
interviews and Echoing Green events, and must be 18 years of age or older.
Organizations
seeking support must be the original idea of the applicant and must be
independent, autonomous, and in a start-up phase, which means the applicant may
have been running the organization full-time for up to two years, with Echoing
Green’s financial support constituting its major/primary early funding.
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 their organization’s development for the
full two years of the fellowship.
Fellows
receive up to $80,000 ($90,000 for partnerships of two people) in seed funding
over two years as well as other benefits and technical assistance.
