Echoing Green Fellowship for Emerging Social Entrepreneurs 2025

Published: 17 Sep 2024

Echoing Green supports bold leaders from all over the world who see possibility in the face of the most existential challenges of our day. Together, we strive to build a world that has yet to exist: a future free from racism and its far-reaching consequences where all people can thrive.

This Fellowship is for people whose enterprises are at an early stage and who are experts on the challenge they’ve chosen to confront. We seek leaders who reflect the community they serve and bring deep knowledge of the issues into their work as they co-design solutions with and for their communities. Through the Echoing Green Fellowship, we find innovators, mobilizers, community organizers, and social justice leaders working on a plan to make the world better in a big way. Then Echoing Green will help them grow their impact by connecting them with the tools, resources, and communities they need to bring their ideas to life.
