New York, New York; March 20, 2023<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0GLG<\/a>, the world\u2019s insight network, today opened applications for the 2023 GLG Social Impact Fellowship, marking the 10th<\/sup> anniversary of GLG\u2019s flagship social impact program. Applications will be accepted through May 19, 2023. (The application is available here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

GLG is the world\u2019s insight network, bringing decision makers the insight it takes to get ahead. GLG\u2019s network of experts is the world\u2019s largest and most varied source of first-hand expertise, with thousands of new experts recruited every week.<\/p>\n

GLG Social Impact<\/a>\u00a0is the company\u2019s award-winning initiative that supports nonprofits, foundations, and impact funds to help solve the world\u2019s most urgent challenges. The annual\u00a0GLG Social Impact Fellowship<\/a> provides select nonprofits and social enterprises with a two-year pro bono partnership with GLG, including access to the full suite of GLG product offerings and the support of dedicated GLG client service teams, as well as continued alumnus support.<\/p>\n

The 2023 Fellowship is open to organizations working across social and humanitarian issues globally, including but not limited to education, environment, global health, and social justice. This year, it is also focused on supporting organizations providing humanitarian relief in response to natural disasters and violent conflicts.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur work has always been guided by the belief that real insight leads to better decisions and solutions \u2013 and over the past decade, our Social Impact Fellowship has demonstrated that a single phone call with an expert can not only inform an important decision, but change thousands of lives,\u201d said GLG CEO Paul Todd. \u201cWe look forward to welcoming a new class of innovators to our global community and helping them better people\u2019s lives worldwide.\u201d<\/p>\n

The GLG Social Impact Fellowship has supported 85 social innovators since its launch in 2014. Their organizations focus on a wide range of urgent issues and affect the lives of tens of millions of people around the world each year. A 2022 third-party assessment demonstrated<\/a> the significant and lasting benefits that Fellow organizations receive from the program, including the ability to accelerate impact, build capacity, and develop professionally.

\u201cWe\u2019re immensely proud of the partnerships we\u2019ve developed with so many extraordinary Fellows, and gratified to reflect on the impact we\u2019ve made together, which continues to ripple through communities around the world,\u201d said GLG VP and Head of Social Impact Jen Field. \u201cWe can\u2019t wait to welcome this milestone class of Fellows.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWith growth comes huge challenges \u2013 being a small\u00a0business-for-good\u00a0startup, we don’t always have\u00a0access to the\u00a0expertise we desire, or indeed the budget or the network of a large company to\u00a0accelerate the business\u00a0to the next stage,\u201d\u00a0said 2022 Fellow Robin Ferris, Founder and CEO of Bankuet<\/a>, a UK-based business for good whose digital zero-waste food donation platform is the number one supplier of food and other essential items to food banks in the UK.\u00a0\u201cThe GLG Social Impact Fellowship couldn’t have come at a better time. Being able to react quickly to challenges and access experts is a phenomenal gift for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGLG is a superpower,\u201d said 2020 Fellow Clementine Jacoby,\u00a0<\/strong>Executive Director of\u00a0Recidiviz<\/a>, a U.S.-based nonprofit that partners with U.S. state governments to reduce recidivism with innovative data systems and technology. \u201cGLG experts have been transformative \u2013 not only in the early stages of product development, when you need a depth of expertise, but also for process- and people-related questions. It saved us so much time for user experience research, impact analysis, and operational challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing a part of the GLG Social Impact Fellowship has been one of the most transformational opportunities in our 15-year history,\u201d said 2019 Fellow Cristi Hegranes, CEO and Publisher of\u00a0Global Press<\/a>, an international nonprofit that trains and employs female journalists in the world\u2019s least-covered markets to produce ethical and accurate news coverage. \u201cThe ability to get smart quickly on a topic has fast-tracked many of our important decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Applications for the Fellowship are highly competitive, with selection criteria based on organization mission and model, existing impact, future goals, operational capacity, and need for the expertise that GLG offers. Applicants must be the Founder, Executive Director, President, or CEO of a nonprofit or social enterprise with an innovative model creating demonstrable social change. Once an organization is selected for the Fellowship, all of its team members receive pro bono access to GLG. Full selection criteria are detailed\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
