Echoing Green Social Change Fellowships
Echoing Green's Fellowship Program

Echoing Green awards two year fellowships to emerging social
innovators.  Annually, we award Fellowships to individuals with
innovative ideas for creating new models for tackling seemingly
unsolvable social challenges.  These Fellowships offer them the
opportunity to develop and test their ideas.

This is not a scholarship program.  Our Fellows do not develop
their ideas in an academic setting.  Our Fellows work in the
community.  They launch, manage and grow organizations that
implement and continually expand their ideas for creating lasting
social change.

During the two year Fellowship, Echoing Green provides both
financial and technical support.


Financial Support:

Echoing Green offers fellowships to individuals and to
partnerships of no more than two individuals.

Individual Fellowships:  $30,000 per year for two years for a
total of $60,000 paid in four equal installments of $15,000
Partnership Fellowships:  $45,000 per year (per project, not per
individual) for two years for a total of $90,000 paid in four
equal installments of $22,500

Fellowship stipends are paid twice a year.  The initial stipend
payment for 2004 Fellows will be paid in early September 2004.
The remaining payments are paid every six months (in March and
September).  The stipend can be used for any purpose related to
the start up of the organization or project.

In addition to the two year stipend, Echoing Green also offers a
monthly stipend for health insurance.


Technical Assistance:

Echoing Green provides our fellows a range of support through a
variety of media including the Internet, conferences, site visits
and phone contact.  We offer guidance in strategic and financial
planning, staff and board development, fundraising, legal and
accounting practices and many other aspects of starting and
building a non-profit organization.

During the two year Fellowship period, Echoing Green will host
three Fellowship conferences.  The New Fellows Conference is held
in mid-July 2004.  This conference allows our new Fellows to meet
and network amongst themselves.  At the conference we also offer
educational workshops and access to Echoing Green Fellows,
program alumni and other experts in the field.  In November of
each year of the Fellowship period, Echoing Green will also host
Current Fellows Conferences for all of our currently funded
Fellows.  These conferences are excellent opportunities for
networking, peer to peer learning and renewal.

Our conferences are an essential element of our Fellowship
program and Echoing Green expects all our Fellows to attend all
conferences during their fellowship period.



Accountability to Outcomes:

Echoing Green works with our Fellows from the outset in
developing their programs, determining projected outcomes and
implementing measurement tools.  Assessing impact is an ongoing
process throughout the Fellowship period.  Social impact is a
long term investment and is not easy to measure.  Echoing Green
is committed to tackling the difficult question "how are we
making a difference" and insuring accountability at all levels,
including accountability to the communities that our fellows
serve.

Our fellows develop ambitious and measurable first year
objectives.  Throughout their fellowship, they provide regular
reports to the foundation and track their progress against their
objectives, refining their objectives as appropriate.
