Seed Funding for Social Entrepreneurs

Dear friends,

If you're thinking about starting up your own social change organization or have recently done so, I want to share an opportunity for seed funding with you. Please review the information below to learn how the Echoing Green Fellowship provides up to $90,000 in funding for new, innovative organizations working to create social change.

In addition, even if you're not interested in this fellowship yourself, I ask that you please forward this message to friends or listservs that would find it useful. Unlike other fellowships, you don't need to be nominated to apply - but the only way we can truly make it open to all is through your support.

Just make sure to spread the word soon as our application deadline is little more than a month away.

Much appreciated,
Jeremy
