Ashoka is the largest network of social entrepreneurs worldwide, with nearly
3,000 Ashoka Fellows in 70 countries putting their system changing ideas into
practice on a global scale. Founded by Bill Drayton in 1980, Ashoka has
provided start-up financing, professional support services, and connections
to a global network across the business and social sectors, and a platform
for people dedicated to changing the world. Ashoka launched the field of
social entrepreneurship and has activated multi-sector partners across the
world who increasingly look to entrepreneurial talent and new ideas to solve
social problems.
Ashoka Fellows remain the core of our community, and their insights show us
how the world is moving and what is needed next. Ashoka's mission has evolved
beyond catalyzing individual entrepreneurs to enabling an "everyone a
changemaker" world. This means equipping more people – including young
people - with the skillset and a connection to purpose so that they can
contribute ideas and effectively solve problems at whatever scale is needed
in their family, community, city, workplace, field, industry, country. This
evolution comes from the urgent realization that the pace of change is
accelerating in an increasingly complex and interconnected world. Our
strategic initiatives focus on setting in motion the people, resources and
ecosystems that will bring about a social revolution where everyone
contributes to change for the good of all. Working in partnership with
private, philanthropic and citizen sector players we are achieving
large-scale social innovation that is grounded in decades of entrepreneurial
experience.
