Echoing Green invests and supports emerging social entrepreneurs to launch new organizations that deliver high impact solutions. These social entrepreneurs and their organizations work to solve social, environmental, economic, and political inequities to ensure equal access and to help people reach their full potential.
Echoing Green has been in the business of identifying, funding, and supporting emerging social entrepreneurs since 1987. The Echoing Green Fellowship has been an indispensable ally to social entrepreneurs who have new and untested ideas for social change.
