Echoing Green, an organization that plays leading role in the field of social innovation, has announced 44 recipients selected for the 2024 cohort of the Echoing Green Fellowship.

The newest Fellows work in 21 countries, and is one of the largest and most geographically diverse cohorts within the organizationโ€™s history.

Each Fellow will receive $80,000 in unrestricted funding during the 18-month Fellowship, one element of a multi-faceted support model that includes capital, capacity, and community support.

Fellows will also join a lifelong community of innovative thinkers, strategic partners, and industry peers. The 2024 Fellows were selected through Echoing Greenโ€™s open call application and participatory grantmaking process, with 2,100 applications received for this cohort.

โ€œFrom the planet’s hottest year yet, to ongoing global threats to democracy, to backsliding on hard-fought progress on racial equity โ€” these are challenging times. We need bold solutions now for these and other significant challenges. These new Fellows are meeting this moment with a level of brilliance, care, and passion that gives me renewed hope for our collective future,โ€ said Echoing Green President Cheryl L. Dorsey.

“When I look at the transformative work that theyโ€™ve launched across 21 countries, I am excited about the opportunities before them and the possibilities of what they can achieve for their communities and for the world,” Dorsey added.
