Echoing Green Deadline Fast Approaching

Published November 24, 2009 @ 06:11PM PT

Echoing Green is one of the most important seed funders for aspiring social entrepreneurs in the world. Their leadership has been recognized over and over again for its vision and the awards it provides are often to big thinking, high capacity but largely

untested social entrepreneurs.

The Echoing Green Fellows each get $60,000 distributed over two years (Or $90,000, in the case of teams), as well as access to a network of peers, mentors, teachers, and potentially, additional funders. Their last few fellowship classes have been rich with innovative projects like Gardens for Health, Appropriate Infrastructure Development Group, Global Health Corps and more.

Echoing Green is also an organization dedicated to building the field as a whole. It uses social media like its Be Bold Podcast to spread the word and teach people new things, it's published resources for entrepreneurial job seekers, and general wants to see an ever growing number of social innovators working together and finding the resources they need.

If this sounds like something you want to be a part of, the application is due on December 2. It's not one of the easier application processes out there, so I'd start now.
