Echoing Green Announces 2005 Fellowship Application Cycle
Deadline: December 1, 2004

The global social venture fund Echoing Green (<a href="http://echoinggreen.org/">http://echoinggreen.org/</a>) seeks applications for its fellowship program from individuals with innovative approaches to addressing social challenges.

The fellowship program is designed to support emerging social innovators in launching their own organizations to create lasting social change.

Echoing Green offers fellowships to individuals and to partnerships of no more than two individuals. Projects must be the original idea of the individual(s) applying.

During the two-year fellowship, Echoing Green provides both financial and technical support. Individual Fellowships provide $30,000 per year for two years; Partnership Fellowships provide $45,000 per year (per project, not per individual) for two years. Echoing Green also provides guidance in strategic and financial planning, staff and board development, fundraising, legal and accounting practices and other aspects of starting and building a nonprofit organization.

Echoing Green will open the online application cycle for its 2005 fellowship program on September 15, 2004, and will close the initial application process on December 1, 2004. Potential applicants are advised to begin the application process by reviewing the eligibility and selection criteria. Applicants may begin working on their application responses off-line before the online application is officially opened on September 15.
