We are thrilled to announce the inaugural Snow Entrepreneurs – eight remarkable social change leaders with amazing initiatives to share.
Over one million dollars in funding will be shared among the group, and they will receive wrap-around mentoring and support for 12 months.
The Snow Entrepreneurs – fellowships for social change were selected from applicants who are involved with early-stage initiatives looking at solving problems in new ways. The Fellowships are presented to passionate, inspiring leaders and teams who are persistent in pursuing social causes, addressing gaps in need and have potential to grow.
Georgina Byron, CEO of The Snow Foundation says, “these people are remarkable, they are all very bright and tackle social issues in new ways. Many are motivated, through their own adversity and hardship, to develop initiatives that help address the very issues they have lived with throughout their lives. They know what works.”
Each Snow Entrepreneur receives $100-200k funding plus a mentor for 12 months, a diagnostic session to identify strengths and areas to further develop, and tailored advisory services coordinated by the Social Impact Hub.
