Echoing Green Fellowship

What is the EG Fellowship?

Through our two-year Echoing Green Fellowship program, we provide start-up capital and technical assistance to help new leaders launch their organizations and build capacity. We offer:

• A grant of up to $90,000, paid in four equal installments over two years • A health insurance stipend • Conferences led by organizational development experts • Access to technical support and pro bono partnerships to help grow your organization • A community of like-minded social entrepreneurs and public service leaders

What the EG Fellowship is not:

Echoing Green does not fund scholarships, research, faith-based organizations, or lobbying.

Who should apply?

Echoing Green funds compelling and original ideas for addressing and resolving the root causes of tough social challenges. We look for applicants who display a solid understanding of the issues they plan to address and demonstrate the leadership potential to bring their vision to life. Before applying, applicants should ask themselves:

• Are other organizations already doing similar work? Have you thoroughly researched the topic? Are you knowledgeable about the other existing players in the field? • Do you have both a vision and a plan for executing the vision? • Do you expect significant outcomes (tangible and measurable change) to result from your work? Will your organization create the scale of outcomes necessary to effect the change you envision? • Is it your personal and professional plan to make the building of this organization a full time commitment for at least two years?

Leaders over the age of 18 from any nation, working in any field are eligible to apply. Find out whether you qualify by taking the pre-application questionnaire at www.echoinggreen.org/shouldyouapply and then apply online. The deadline is December 3, 2007. If you have any questions, please email apply@echoinggreen.org.
