Frequently asked questions

Review the specific eligibility terms before applying, since funders set their own requirements around organization type, location, and the population or project being served.

Ashoka Fellowship provides between $50K and $100K per award from Ashoka. Actual award sizes depend on the scope of your project, available program funds, and the number of applicants, so build a budget that reflects realistic, allowable costs rather than the maximum figure.
