ChangeMakers: UNILEVER IS OFFERING €200,000 OF FUNDING TO ANY INNOVATIVE YOUNG ENTREPRENEUR!!





Greetings from Ashoka Changemakers!

My name is Isabela Carvalho and I manage the global outreach of the Unilever Sustainable Living Young Entrepreneurs Awards, a partnership between Unilever, the University of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership, and Ashoka. As a follow up to previous communication, I would like to invite you to enter your project and be part of this network of sustainable leaders! And to help us invite other young leaders in sustainability to participate as well.

This year, we are looking for..
innovative and scalable technologies or initiatives that are contributing to one or more of the eight following Global Goals for Sustainable Development: No Poverty, Zero Hunger Gender Equality, Clean Water and Sanitation, Affordable and Clean Energy, Decent Work and Economic Growth, Responsible Consumption and Production, and Climate Action.

By entering this challenge you will have the opportunity to be one of seven young entrepreneurs to receive a total of €200,000 in funding and support to help take their sustainable solutions to the next level. The prize package includes funding, customised expert mentoring support, access to an online business development programme, a two-day accelerator workshop at the University of Cambridge, and networking with senior executives and sustainability leaders at Unilever’s headquarters. One entrepreneur will take home the greatest prize fund and be presented with the HRH The Prince of Wales Young Sustainability Entrepreneur Prize at an unforgettable event in London.

The entry period is open until November 18, 2015. To be eligible entrants must be between the ages of 18 and 35, and the work described in your entry must be addressing at least one of the Global Goals listed above. You can access the entry form here - https://www.changemakers.com/globalgoals2015.  If you have already entered the challenge this year, make sure your project is updated and reflects the innovation and impact of the initiative.

Just got my check for over $500.

Sometimes people don't believe me when I tell them about how much money you can make taking paid surveys online...

So I show them a video of myself getting paid $500 for filling paid surveys to set the record straight once and for all.
