Deadline: 30 June 2020
The 2020 Global Good Fund Fellowship has been launched for innovators, entrepreneurs, and leaders of positive social impact organizations. If you want to expand your Leadership and Network, Apply Now! The Global Good Fund creates a better world by investing in society’s most innovative entrepreneurs.
This program is for emerging leaders, entrepreneurs who are 40 or under, with diverse ethnic, religious, economic, geographic and gender experiences. Ideal entrepreneurs are in a leadership role, and are dedicated full-time to their organization that’s over 1-year-old.
HERE’S THE DEAL
They invest in leaders who invest in the world. Those who dedicate each and every day to helping others, who sometimes forget to prioritize themselves along the way. They want a relationship. They want social entrepreneurs who not only want them, but need them. Their program is specifically designed to develop the leadership skills of social entrepreneurs around the world.
NOW WHAT?
They have three steps/phases to find the social entrepreneurs who need them:
- Phase I: May-June
A generic, easy-to-answer questionnaire to make sure you meet their very basic criteria. This phase is important to get a general sense of who you are and your business. It also helps them see how interested you really are in their program. Do you just want to add them onto your resume, or do you really have a desire to join their family and work on your leadership skills? - Phase II: July-August
If you’ve met all of their criteria, or have given reasonable explanation as to why you don’t meet a certain criteria, you will usually move on. The next phase is composed of a more comprehensive survey to learn the extent of your business, your role, and the social impact your organization is having and hopes to have. - Phase III: October/November
Once they’ve made their selections from Phase II applicants, they invite them onto their final phase – a video conference interview between their staff with a volunteer, and the applicant with either a team member or community member who has been impacted by them or their organization. This phase helps them connect with you on a deeper level, and learn why you want to join their program. It also allows them to see the impact you are having on your team or in your community. Once this phase has been completed, they select their finalists.
How Global Good Fund Select?
