Google is a company that believes deeply in entrepreneurship. And this is a company that believes deeply in the power of information. We don’t think there’s another organization that combines these two things in a more compelling way than Ashoka.

Since its inception, Ashoka has envisioned electing Fellows in the United States. Despite its relative prosperity in comparison to other nations, the United States has pressing social problems that present an extraordinary opportunity for social entrepreneurs to find and execute innovative solutions in education, the environment, economic development, health, human rights, and other areas of human concern.
Many of these extraordinary innovators lack the critical financial, professional, and moral support that is readily available to their business entrepreneur counterparts. Ashoka's Venture and Fellowship programs provide Ashoka Fellows with financial and professional support to enable unique opportunities for collaboration and learning among Ashoka Fellows and their peers around the world. Through the new Ashoka Accelerator for Social Entrepreneurship, Ashoka brings Fellows together with experts from business and other sectors to improve their ability to achieve extraordinary impact as efficiently as possible.
