Ashoka and S&P Global Foundation are collaborating with women social entrepreneurs, key stakeholders, and their supporters from across Southeast Asia to collectively re-imagine the future of women social entrepreneurship and changemaking in the region.
Along with other youth-serving organizations, Ashoka is co-leading a movement and network to think how every young Filipino can be a problem-solver for the common good.
Ashoka’s country and regional offices around the world co-create and co-lead Ashoka’s programming. This enables our global changemaker community to capture and act upon emerging insights, knowledge, and talents of innovators from a wide range of cultural and regional contexts.

Ashoka focuses on four strategic priorities to help people understand and adapt to a world of accelerating change, where everyone is called on to be a leader:
Social Entrepreneurship
Ashoka selects world-class social entrepreneurs who are leading the way to an everyone-a-changemaker world.
Ashoka is leading a movement to transform how young people grow up so they thrive in today’s rapidly changing world where everyone must be a changemaker. Changemaking starts with empathy.
Together, we need to try approaches that are novel and innovative, that hold the promise of systemic answers to our systemic problems.

It’s heartening as we continue to find and support more Ashoka Fellows. It validates my faith in our people, that we are innovators, problem-solvers, and changemakers.
There is hope.

The Ashoka Fellowship is a sanctuary for me. Coming together with my co-Ashoka Fellows gives me a boost to move forward and not give up.

Our changemaker community consists of 4,000+ Fellows, 250+ change institutions, 100+ Young Changemakers, and 300+ partners across more than 95 countries.

Donating to Ashoka enables us to elect new social entrepreneurs into our fellowship, provide support services to existing Fellows, and launch collaborations between Fellows, corporations, and citizen sector organizations to promote continued innovation in areas of pressing global need.
Ashoka recognizes that it cannot possibly source the world’s leading changemakers on its own. Good nominators ensure that Ashoka receives a constant flow of promising candidates as well as an invaluable perspective on the current innovation in the sector.
