Ashoka

EVERYONE A CHANGEMAKER™

Ashoka is the world's pioneer in combining the best new ideas with the people and resources needed to solve the world's most pressing social problems.

Problem:
Around the world, governments and businesses have been unable to meet social needs. Making the connections that bring us together to solve the world's problems requires the collaboration of entrepreneurs, investors, governments, and people around the world who believe deeply in social change.

Program:
Over 30 years ago, Ashoka was founded with the understanding that the most successful leaders addressing social issues were operating with the same ingenuity as the best entrepreneurs in the business sector.

Ashoka finds these leading social entrepreneurs, supports them, and connects them to the community and resources they need. 

Progress:
Ashoka's working community has grown to include more than 2,500 leading social entrepreneurs tackling issues in environment, health, human rights and every area of human need.

91% of Ashoka Fellows have proven their ideas to be so effective that independent groups and governments have replicated them.
