<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">Feeney’s personal beliefs led him to donate the majority of his wealth to launch a philanthropic foundation, the Atlantic Philanthropies.&nbsp; In 1980, General Atlantic was founded as a private investment firm which would be responsible for investing Charles Feeney’s considerable wealth.&nbsp; General Atlantic , and is now a leading global growth and private equity firm which maintains its founding commitments to philanthropy.&nbsp;</span>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">In 1987, the board of General Atlantic, in an effort to maximize philanthropic and social impact, founded Echoing Green.&nbsp; This name might be familiar if one considers oneself to be a poetry aficionado.&nbsp; Echoing Green was named after the William Blake poem, “The Echoing Green,” which describes the cycle of life through play and reflection. &nbsp;</span>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">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.&nbsp; Programs and organizations which have stemmed from an Echoing Green fellowship include Teach For America, Public Allies, Family Van, and Jumpstart. &nbsp;</span>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">In 2002, Cheryl Dorsey guided the organization out of possible dissolution and into a new role as a global nonprofit.&nbsp; 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.</span>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">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. &nbsp;In 2006, Echoing Green released “Be Bold,” a publication aimed towards emboldening young people to construct a career path geared towards social entrepreneurship.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp;</span>

Echoing Green offers an impressive track record in seed funding for social venture startups. &nbsp;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. &nbsp; Additionally, Echoing Green's partnerships with universities, non-profitsnonprofits, 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.
