The pool of Ashoka Fellows whether existing or paying Ashoka to find the next group of innovators in a given area would be a highly leveraged investment. Full disclosure: after admiring Ashoka from afar for many years I now work in their global office but my endorsement has not changed.David Stokerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00885859888162958520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3614581.post-16123954702332812612008-10-31T09:08:00.000-07:002008-10-31T09:08:00.000-07:00All D. needed was a mission, 5 smooth stones and g...All D. needed was a mission, 5 smooth stones and good aim. . . I think this concept is right on when it comes to philanthropy/aid/development.<BR/><BR/>When the funding goes to the right orgs (ie, the ones who are doing the work well), it can make a serious difference. It’s not always the big ones or the ones who have been around a long time. It’s too hard to get this info right now. . . it should be easier!<BR/><BR/>Anyone know of other organizations that aggregate this type of info for donors?bethphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00727042901451440254noreply@blogger.com
