The Fellowship
We joined forces with Ashoka to provide funding to women entrepreneurs who are addressing our most serious environmental challenges. Since 2014, we have funded two fellows: Janelle Orsi and Angelou Ezeilo.
Please join us in this effort! If would like to contribute, please email Ariana Carella, Network Engagement Director.
