Echoing Green deadline approaching

by Nathaniel Whittemore

For all of you almost-there social entrepreneurs out there, the Echoing Green Fellowship is a chance to have the financial freedom to dedicate yourself fully to a big new idea. The Fellowship provides solo entrepreneurs $60,000 over two years, and teams $90,000 for the same period. Their alumni include the founders of the Genocide Intervention Network, Teach for America, and one of our Top Social Entrepreneurs You Haven't Heard of Yet, Andrew Youn of One Acre Fund.

The deadline for the application is December 1, and even for those of you who aren't sure whether you'd really be competitive, the process of having to succinctly answer the set of questions they ask is an extremely useful idea development tool.

To learn more and get some tips about applying, check out this podcast on the Echoing Green Be Bold blog.
