Criteria used to fund social entrepreneurs
How is the idea different from what is already
out there? Is it truly a transformational
innovation for social change? Is the person
really creative, both in outlook and in problem
solving? How creatively does the person approach
opportunities and obstacles? Is the person so
passionate about her/his vision that she/he will
not rest until the vision becomes a new pattern
in society? Does the project have the potential
to make changes at the national level and/or
beyond? How many people will be affected by this
project? Is the entrepreneur totally honest? Is
her/his motivation deeply rooted in a commitment
to serve others?
