My Nonprofit Reviews

Beth I
Review for Ashoka, Arlington, VA, USA
I have a long history of working in a wide variety of community and advocacy organizations in the US, both local and national. In, 2006, frustrated by the pace of change and the cynicism that often results from an "us vs. them" mentality, I looked for another way to spend my energies. And found Ashoka. Someone once said "They don't solve problems, they just leave them behind," and after six years of working in the global office, I find that it's true. They think big and they do big things, from the over 3000 global Fellows who have found solutions to some of the most challenging social problems of our time, to the staff around the world who support them, building scale through collaborations that cross national, regional and continental borders. Their focus on enabling everyone to become Changemakers means that they're open to new ideas, alliances and partnerships of the kinds that can leverage the change needed to tip the world. Ashoka is dynamic yet focused, ambitious in vision yet highly impactful. Changemaking at its best!
