Global Good Fund Fellowship Program 2027 for Social Entrepreneurs ( Up To $10,000 Grant)

The fellowship supports founders and leaders of for-profit, non-profit, and hybrid organizations that are addressing critical social and environmental challenges.

Why it matters

Many social entrepreneurs have innovative solutions to pressing social challenges but often lack access to leadership coaching, strategic mentorship, and global networks that can help them scale their impact. The Global Good Fund Fellowship addresses this gap by investing directly in the founder’s leadership growth rather than solely focusing on business operations.

For African and Nigerian social entrepreneurs in particular, the programme offers a rare opportunity to access world-class coaching, international networks, and dedicated funding for leadership development. The skills, connections, and insights gained through the fellowship can help founders build stronger organisations, attract investment, create jobs, and increase their social impact within their communities.
