Draper Richards Foundation Fellowship Program Invites Proposals From Social Entrepreneurs
Draper Richards Foundation Fellowship Program Invites Proposals From Social Entrepreneurs
The Draper Richards Foundation provides selected social entrepreneurs with funding of
$100,000 annually for three years. The funds are specifically and solely for
entrepreneurs starting new nonprofit
organizations in the United States.
Based on the structure of a venture capital fund, the foundation offers
financial support as well as strategic and
organizational assistance. The Draper Richards Fellowships are highly
selective. Only four fellowships are awarded
per year to allow the foundation to fully engage with its portfolio of
grantee organizations.
Experienced, dedicated social entrepreneurs with a developed idea for a
nonprofit organization in the United States are
invited to apply. Selected projects will demonstrate innovative ways to
solve existing social problems. The foundation will
accept proposals for a variety of public service areas, including, but not
limited to, education, youth and families, the
environment, arts, health, and community and economic development.
Organizations must be at the beginning of their
development and must be based in the United States only. The foundation
seeks organizations that are or plan to be national
or global in scope. The foundation does not fund local community-based
organizations.
Criteria used to review proposals include: ability of the organization to
create significant social change; idea must be
sustainable and scalable; and the founder must have the skills to manage a
national or global organization.
The foundation will accept proposals at any time of the year. Applications
are reviewed when they are received. Visit the
Draper Richards Foundation Web site for complete program guidelines and
application procedures as well as information on
previously selected fellows.
