About Ashoka: Innovators for the Public 

Ashoka was founded on the belief that social entreprneeurs are the most powerful force changing the world. For 30 years Ashoka has been seeking out and supporting the best innovators working to create systemic change to join the Ashoka Fellowship. Successful social entrepreneurs mobilize their communities to create change, serving as role models and facilitators for hundreds and thousands of others to become changemakers, bringing us closer to a more empathetic, more etuiqble world, a world of changemakers.

About Social Financial Services

Leading social entrepreneurs need social investors who value new ideas that often cut across the disciplinary and organizational boundaries created to solve old problems. They often need substantial investments to test and refine an idea, lean how to market it, build new institutions and change many others. Learn how Ashoka's Social Financial Services group tackles the lack of quantity and diversity of financial support needed for social entrepreneurs to succeed.
