Ashoka: Innovators for the Public

Ashoka: Innovators for the Public is an international citizen-sector organization and the world's leading community of over 3,000 social entrepreneurs. We champion the most important new social change ideas and support the entrepreneurs behind them by helping them get started, grow, collaborate and succeed.

Our mission is to build an Everyone a Changemaker World, where all people have opportunities to create change and self-identify as changemakers. We pursue this mission by engaging a variety of organizations—universities, private companies and grass-roots initiatives—as well as people throughout all stages of their lives.
