The Global Good Fund accelerates the leadership of social entrepreneurs around the world. Through the Fellowship program, The Global Good Fund invests in the human capital of high potential leaders committed to tackling some of today’s greatest social challenges. The result is empowered leaders who scale their social enterprises and ultimately deliver sustainable social impact. We believe growing leaders is the most effective strategy for solving complex social problems and achieving global good.

Following a rigorous five-stage process, selected Global Good Fund Fellows to embark on a structured 15-month journey of experiential learning, executive mentoring and that leverages proprietary leadership development tools and methods honed since 2012. At the core is The Global Good Fund 360 MIRROR – the first evidence-based leadership assessment created specifically for social entrepreneurs. Our proven leadership development tools and services are also available to individuals, social enterprise organisations, NPO’s and impact-driven corporations.
