Ashoka Fellowship

Ashoka identifies and supports the world’s leading social entrepreneurs, learns from the patterns in their innovations, and mobilizes a global community that embraces these new frameworks to build an “everyone a changemaker world.”

Ashoka understands the individual needs of social entrepreneurs vary depending on the stage of their work. Once selected, each Ashoka Fellow embarks on a tailored timeline of investments and support over their lifetime. We make sure that the Ashoka brand, the engagements me curate and facilitate, and the connections we open are valuable to each Fellow. We invite Fellows to make the most of the network through interactions that will increase their chances for deepening their social impact. Some of the support Fellows will enjoy include:

  • A tailored stipend for up to three years, if needed, for the Fellow to dedicate themselves full time to the advancement of their idea
  • Customized engagement opportunities that accelerate their impact
  • Increased visibility
  • A global community of peers
