Echoing Green Fellow and follow-on funding recipient Kaveto Tjatjara speaking at the 2023 All Fellows Convening.

Today Echoing Green is proud to announce 29 new follow-on funding investments totaling $2.075 million. The unrestricted funding supports Fellow-led organizations seeking to refine and scale their work toward racial justice in the U.S. and globally. Since 2021, Echoing Green has provided $12 million in follow-on funding to Fellows to build upon its investment in proximate social innovators – whose leadership reflects the communities they serve.

The investment supports the impact of leaders working on a range of equity-driven projects and initiatives in Namibia, Nigeria, Uganda, Syria, Kenya, India, Haiti, and the United States. Grants categories include Catalytic Grants to support pilot projects and invest in operations ($25K) and Transformational Grants to scale proven models ($100K).
