Echoing Green Fellowship 2025 for emerging Social Entrepreneurs

About Echoing Green Fellowship

Echoing Green supports bold leaders from around the world who see possibility in the face of today’s most existential challenges.

Together, we strive to create a world that does not yet exist: a future free of racism and its far-reaching consequences, in which all people can thrive.

This Fellowship is for people whose businesses are in their early stages and who are experts in the challenge they’ve chosen to tackle.

We seek leaders who reflect the community they serve and bring extensive knowledge of the issues to their work as they collaborate to develop 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.
