Hey Entrepreneurs!
The Bluhm/Helfand Social Innovation Fellowship @ Chicago Ideas Week is looking for social innovators (35 and under), who lead for profit and not for profit social ventures with proven sustainable models and who have demonstrated measurable impact in their field. We will select three dynamic young social innovators from around the world and bring them to Chicago Ideas Week an annual celebration of ideas, innovation and community, all expenses paid.
Chicago Ideas Week takes place from October 8-14, 2012. The fellowship takes place from October 7- 11. You must be available from October 7-11 in order to be considered. You are welcome to stay and attend the remainder of Chicago Ideas Week (all expenses paid), but that is not required.
If chosen, you’ll receive $10,000 in financial support for your venture and you’ll join a group of likeminded young innovators for a week of one-of-a-kind experiences!
The goal of the fellowship is to grow the impact of your venture and that process does not stop when the week is over. You’ll enjoy ongoing support from our team for years to come. We’ll set you up with professionals to provide support, as needed, in specific areas (such as technology assistance, legal advice, marketing, etc).
If this sounds like a good fit for you, we hope you will consider applying.
The application deadline is May 21, 2012. You can learn more about the program and apply here: https://www.chicagoideas.com/special_programs/bhsi
