Applications are now open for the Global Good Fund Fellowship 2027 for social entrepreneurs

Applications for the Global Good Fund Fellowship 2027 are now open!

The Fellowship brings together social entrepreneurs for a transformative year of one-on-one executive coaching, structured leadership development, and connection to a global network of mentors and peers who have walked this path before.

If you lead a social enterprise and are ready to invest in your growth as intentionally as you invest in your mission, the Global Good Fund encourages you to apply. Applications close on June 30.

The Global Good Fund Fellowship Overview

This fellowship is designed for social entrepreneurs who are creating social impact within their communities and are ready to scale their leadership to further develop their enterprises.

Applicant criteria:

While the Global Good Fund flagship Fellowship Program requires the candidate’s enterprise to be at least two years old, the Global Good Fund welcome applications from earlier-stage leaders. If your enterprise is under the two-year threshold, submitting your application allows us to evaluate your profile for other potential programmatic opportunities across our ecosystem.
The enterprise must have at least one full-time employee in addition to the candidate.
The applicant is committed full‐time to running their enterprise.
The applicant must be in a position where they have primary decision-making authority.

Additional considerations:

The enterprise the candidate is leading can be a for-profit, non-profit, or hybrid
The enterprise’s scope of work can be international, domestic, or both
The enterprise has developed an effective business model and is therefore well positioned (or can provide evidence that demonstrates a high level of potential) to scale in the long term
The enterprise addresses issues in the following sectors: Financial Inclusion, Environment, Education, Economic Mobility, and Health. However, Global Good Fund will consider applicants who fall outside of these areas as related to their potential for social impact and systemic change
Candidates should not be receiving formal coaching/mentoring support; if they are applying for other fellowships within the same fellowship cycle, please make sure it is indicated within your application
