If you are interested in nominating a social entrepreneur to the Ashoka Fellowship, we welcome any information about a candidate and their work that you can provide. You can do this by sending an email to Ashoka office at

Please also read through the five selection criteria carefully to make sure the nominee fits our understanding of a leading social entrepreneur.

Ashoka recognizes that it cannot possibly source the world’s leading social entrepreneurs 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. We thank you in advance.
