The Bluhm/Helfand Social Innovation Fellowship @ Chicago Ideas Week
recognizes a group of young socially-conscious leaders who have developed
sustainable ventures addressing social needs, and provides them with
exposure to nationally recognized business and community leaders, funding
to support their cause, and a platform for growth.

The Fellowship was created by philanthropist and entrepreneurs Leslie Bluhm
and David Helfand to help advance the next generation of social innovators,
entrepreneurs, and change agents. In 2012, the fellowship received over 200
applications.

The Program

The BHSI Fellows are hosted in Chicago for Chicago Ideas Week, in October
each year, all expenses paid. Fellows gain exposure for their organization,
establish a community of support, and receive a $10,000 financial
contribution for their venture.

Fellowship Details

Each of the Bluhm/Helfand Social Innovation fellows will receive $10,000 in
financial support for their venture, and they'll join a group of likeminded
young innovators for a week of one-of-a-kind experiences including:
