Every year, Echoing Green collects information from social entrepreneurs applying to our Fellowship program. This data set—which we believe is one of the largest collections of data on social enterprise applicants—allows us to observe trends in the field, understand our applicants’ needs, and share learnings with others working in social impact.
When we viewed these learnings in tandem with our knowledge of the social entrepreneurship field and the context of current global events, intersectional findings emerged, which pointed to broader challenges and opportunities. Join Echoing Green to discuss the implications COVID-19 has on the social entrepreneurship field, the intersection of problematic power dynamics leading to global breakdowns, and how we can continue to find those best equipped to lead to future crises.
