Echoing Green

The Echoing Green Fellowship is a highly regarded program that supports early-stage social entrepreneurs who are working to drive social change. Fellows receive seed funding—$80,000 for individuals or $90,000 for two-person teams—distributed over two years, along with stipends for health insurance and professional development. The program also offers leadership training, expert mentorship, and access to a global community of changemakers. To be eligible, applicants must be at least 18 years old by June 1, 2025, fluent in English, and able to commit full-time (35+ hours per week) to launching or building their organization. The organization must be in its startup phase (typically under two years old), be the applicant’s original idea, and operate independently. Applicants must also hold a primary leadership role and cannot be full-time students or have employment that conflicts with the fellowship's time commitment.
