Western Union Fellowship

Western Union Foundation Fellowship, powered by Watson Institute, in 2021 to provide entrepreneurs with business training and seed funding to launch their own community-focused ventures. The 16-week program includes venture acceleration and leadership training, networking, and mentorship to help entrepreneurs launch and expand their ventures. The impact of the program is further amplified by Basecamps that each Fellow organizes to provide training and resources to community members. To date, the Western Union Foundation Fellowship and Basecamps have supported more than 2,200 individuals.
