Investment Strategy and Thought Leadership
Echoing Green believes that the same entrepreneurial spirit that has driven the U.S. economy can also foster new solutions to complex social problems all over the world. That is why Echoing Green takes risks on undiscovered leaders when others won’t. Less than two percent of all foundation support is available for seed funding, making Echoing Green a premier global organization that supports new organizations at their earliest stages.
In 2006, Echoing Green published its first book, Be Bold. Be Bold is a uniquely designed handbook for young people who want to create powerful careers in social change. Be Bold is accompanied by a website as well as a campaign of conferences, partnerships, and curriculum development.

—Ann Douglas (b. 1942)

—J.M. (James Matthew)
“This I do know and can say to you: Our country is in more danger now than at any time since the Declaration of Independence.

—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
