= Overview =

[http://www.echoinggreen.org Echoing Green]’s roots can be traced to one of the most influential philanthropists in modern history, Charles Feeney.  Charles Feeney and Robert Warren Miller reached considerable financial status after the success of their joint venture, the Duty Free Shopper’s Group.  

Feeney’s personal beliefs led him to donate the majority of his wealth to launch a philanthropic foundation, the Atlantic Philanthropies.  In 1980, General Atlantic was founded as a private investment firm which would be responsible for investing Charles Feeney’s considerable wealth.  General Atlantic is now a leading global growth and private equity firm which maintains its founding commitments to philanthropy. 

In 1987, the board of General Atlantic, in an effort to maximize philanthropic and social impact, founded Echoing Green.  This name might be familiar if one considers oneself to be a poetry aficionado.  Echoing Green was named after the William Blake poem, “The Echoing Green,” which describes the cycle of life through play and reflection.  

Echoing Green began by supporting one individual, Diana Propper de Callejon, in creating alternative livelihoods for Amazonian people that were not based on deforestation. Since then, Echoing Green has supported over 500 fellows, investing over $30 million dollars in seed funding.  Programs and organizations which have stemmed from an Echoing Green fellowship include Teach For America, Public Allies, Family Van, and Jumpstart.  

In 2002, Cheryl Dorsey guided the organization out of possible dissolution and into a new role as a global nonprofit.  A [http://www.echoinggreen.org/sites/default/files/Echoing_Green_Case_Statement.pdf Harvard Business School Case Study] detailing the involvement of Cheryl Dorsey with Echoing Green shows how the organization regained stability and broadened its base of funders.

As of today, Echoing Green remains a leader in encouraging young people to pursue social entrepreneurship.  Echoing Green fellowships have been awarded to individuals and teams launching social ventures dealing with youth development, education, health services, civil rights, environmental justice, food security, and immigration. Echoing Green has also added new programs to support their mission, including the Work on Purpose program, the Black Male Achievement Fellowship and the Fellowship Search Partnership program.

= Purpose =

Echoing Green’s mission is to, “unleash next generation talent to solve the world’s biggest problems.”

The organization currently pursues this mission through their prestigious and well founded Echoing Green Fellowship program, as well as through curricula that engages young people in discourse about working with passion and purpose.  In 2006, Echoing Green released “Be Bold,” a publication aimed towards emboldening young people to construct a career path geared towards social entrepreneurship.  This publication lead the way for the Work on Purpose program, which is a simple yet effective structure for encouraging and emphasizing social impact when designing a career path.

Echoing Green offers an impressive track record in seed funding for social venture startups.  With over 500 fellows, and approximately 65% of the organizations originally seed funded by Echoing Green still in existance, Echoing Green has created a massive network of like minded entrepreneurs.   Additionally, Echoing Green's partnerships with universities, non-profits, and other organizations through the Work on Purpose program have established an even more expansive network of resources and opportunities to reach and engage with young social entrepreneurs.

= Overview =

Echoing Green’s roots can be traced to one of the most influential philanthropists in modern history, Charles Feeney.  Charles Feeney and Robert Warren Miller reached considerable financial status after the success of their joint venture, the Duty Free Shopper’s Group.  

Feeney’s personal beliefs led him to donate the majority of his wealth to launch a philanthropic foundation, the Atlantic Philanthropies.  In 1980, General Atlantic was founded as a private investment firm which would be responsible for investing Charles Feeney’s considerable wealth.  General Atlantic is now a leading global growth and private equity firm which maintains its founding commitments to philanthropy. 

In 1987, the board of General Atlantic, in an effort to maximize philanthropic and social impact, founded Echoing Green.  This name might be familiar if one considers oneself to be a poetry aficionado.  Echoing Green was named after the William Blake poem, “The Echoing Green,” which describes the cycle of life through play and reflection.  

Echoing Green began by supporting one individual, Diana Propper de Callejon, in creating alternative livelihoods for Amazonian people that were not based on deforestation. Since then, Echoing Green has supported over 500 fellows, investing over $30 million dollars in seed funding.  Programs and organizations which have stemmed from an Echoing Green fellowship include Teach For America, Public Allies, Family Van, and Jumpstart.  

In 2002, Cheryl Dorsey guided the organization out of possible dissolution and into a new role as a global nonprofit.  A Harvard Business School Case Study detailing  Cheryl Dorsey and Echoing Green can be found [http://www.echoinggreen.org/sites/default/files/Echoing_Green_Case_Statement.pdf http://www.echoinggreen.org/sites/default/files/Echoing_Green_Case_Statement.pdf]

As of today, Echoing Green remains a leader in encouraging young people to pursue social entrepreneurship.  Echoing Green fellowships have been awarded to individuals and teams launching social ventures dealing with youth development, education, health services, civil rights, environmental justice, food security, and immigration. Echoing Green has also added new programs to support their mission, including the Work on Purpose program and the Fellowship Search Partnership program.

= Purpose =

Echoing Green’s mission is to, “unleash next generation talent to solve the world’s biggest problems.”

The organization currently pursues this mission through their prestigious and well founded Echoing Green Fellowship program, as well as through curricula that engages young people in discourse about working with passion and purpose.  In 2006, Echoing Green released “Be Bold,” a publication aimed towards emboldening young people to construct a career path geared towards social entrepreneurship.  This publication lead the way for the Work on Purpose program, which is a simple yet effective structure for encouraging and emphasizing social impact when designing a career path.

= Distinct Differences From Other Offerings =

Echoing Green offers an impressive track record in seed funding for social venture startups.  With over 500 fellows, and approximately 65% of the organizations originally seed funded by Echoing Green still in existance, Echoing Green has created a massive network of like minded entrepreneurs.   Additionally, Echoing Green's partnerships with universities, non-profits, and other organizations through the Work on Purpose program have established an even more expansive network of resources and opportunities to reach and engage with young social entrepreneurs.

2013-09-27T13:26:03Z

Mary Wilcox:

Valerie Sherry is pursuing a Masters degree in Architecture at the University of Maryland. She has experience as a designer, architect, builder, project manager, building scientist (energy modeler), and entrepreneur in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) Industry. She is a CPHC (Certified Passive House Consultant), LEED AP and International Living Futures Institute member.

Valerie has a technical background in high performance building skins, and systems design. Now that she is in design school, she works in the Fabrication Lab and is learning the power of design thinking as both a valuable innovation process as well as a tool to communicate complex ideas to diverse audiences. She is eager to apply her design tools, technology and training towards the creation of meaningful spaces around campus in order to promote information sharing, innovation and entrepreneurship.

Valerie hopes to empower colleagues at the University of Maryland to initiate change and implement ideas. She recently founded the interdisciplinary campus organization, Design Impact Lab, at the University of Maryland. She is passionate about bridging seemingly disparate groups and connecting people with diverse expertise in order to enhance communication and promote cross-fertilization between fields. Her recent appointment to the curriculum committee for the University of Maryland’s School of Architecture will be a platform to discuss and help implement methods for improving design education.

Valerie played Division I Lacrosse as an undergraduate at Brown University and graduated in 2009 with a BA in Architectural Studies. She was a member of the Women’s Leadership Council and Women’s Launch Pad mentorship program geared towards connecting student and mentor interests. As a student at Brown, she facilitated a campaign to build smokeless stoves in the Dominican Republic to reduce respiratory illness and promote job creation in five rural villages. Her experience in the Dominican Republic led her to further investigate links between design, public health, engineering, entrepreneurship and construction methods.

She enjoys drinking coffee at all times as it is positively central to sustained happiness. In her spare time, she enjoys outdoor sports and traveling.
