Through our Henry Arnhold Fellowship we find leaders with promising conservation and climate solutions and help them to design and deliver them at scale.
We’re impact and scale-obsessed. Each year we select 8-10 leaders and help them (1) design high-impact scalable solutions and strategies for better, faster, bigger outcomes; (2) build the organizations to deliver them at scale; and (3) become part of a growing community of innovators in conservation and climate. Take a look at our past fellows here.
Here are the components of the fellowship in more detail:
Design and Strategy
The fellowship is bookended by an intensive week-long workshop to dive in on design for impact and strategy for scale. It’s a rare opportunity to focus completely on new ideas and a systematic way to apply them.
Community and Connections
We bring together a cohort of leaders with big poverty and climate solutions, alongside some great advisors and our team. Fellows join a growing community of fellows at the forefront of climate and conservation work.
Resources and Support
The fellowship comes with an unrestricted $100K grant up front. We coach all our fellows over the year on our design and strategy frameworks. All fellows are considered for longer-term Mulago funding.
We look for innovative leaders with a conservation or climate solution that works and has potential to go big. We look for impact-obsessed people pioneering effective ways to:
- protect nature and ecosystems (forests, rivers, oceans, mountains, grasslands)
- slow down climate change (drop emissions, use energy efficiently, capture carbon) or adapt to the new climate reality.
Their solutions focus on everything from tropical forests in the Amazon Basin to grasslands in Africa to fisheries in the Indian Ocean.
Henry Arnhold Fellows have:
- A solution that can drive exponential impact over time (could be replicated and paid for at big scale) to a big conservation or climate problem.
- An organization up and running — nonprofit or for-profit — even if very small or very early and are full time working on it.
- The most senior role (usually an ED or CEO) at the organization. We’re focused on founders.
There has been a growing demand for an open application process, and we’ve decided to launch one. You can now either recommend a fellow or share the open application directly. Thoughtful recommendations are still our lifeblood—a thoughtful note from a doer or funder can make a big difference to our understanding of the idea when we review applications.
