We run social innovation challenges that find, fund, and connect the people already solving the world’s hardest problems.

Ashoka Changemakers is Challenge platform for the Ashoka network. We design and run global challenges that surface breakthrough solutions and build the communities needed to scale them, in partnership with foundations, corporations, and government bodies.

While we have jointly found and bolstered great examples [of innovation] around the world, we have achieved something more important. We have connected these innovators to one another and facilitated meaningful exchanges. The whole collaboration is much greater than the sum of its parts… neither of our organizations could have achieved alone what we have together." ​
