Bill Drayton is an American social entrepreneur and founder of Ashoka, an organization that supports social entrepreneurs worldwide. He was born in 1943 in New York and helped launch emissions trading at the EPA. In 1980, he founded Ashoka to provide support to social entrepreneurs with solutions for social issues. Ashoka has supported over 1750 social entrepreneurs across over 60 countries. Five years after start-up, over 90% of Ashoka Fellows see their innovations copied and over 50% impact national policy change.
Bill Drayton is a renowned social entrepreneur who founded Ashoka in 1980. He was inspired by Gandhi and the Civil Rights Movement to address income inequality through social entrepreneurship. Ashoka identifies and supports social entrepreneurs with solutions to social issues. It started as a roundtable discussion called Ashoka Table while Drayton was at Harvard. Today, Ashoka has helped implement solutions reaching over 174,000 people on average. The majority of Ashoka fellows are youth under 20, as Drayton believes youth are key to driving social change.
The document introduces Bill Drayton, a prominent social entrepreneur. It discusses how Drayton was inspired to create social change and founded Ashoka in 1980 to support social entrepreneurs addressing social issues. Ashoka identifies and funds young social entrepreneurs with solutions to problems. It has grown significantly under Drayton's leadership, supporting thousands of fellows working on issues like literacy and policy changes in over 90 countries. The document provides background on Drayton and the founding and impact of Ashoka as his pioneering social venture.
Bill Drayton is a social entrepreneur who founded Ashoka: Innovators for the Public in 1981 to fund and support social entrepreneurs around the world. Through Ashoka, Drayton has funded over 3,000 social entrepreneurs who create innovative solutions to problems like poverty, human rights abuses, and climate change, impacting millions of lives. Inspired by the civil rights movement to make a difference, Drayton revolutionized social entrepreneurship and continues finding new issues and solutions. His efforts have left a lasting mark on society and inspired many others to become social entrepreneurs.
On 17th of September, I was invited by Hill Top School to their Career Seminar to make a presentation on Social Entrepreneurship as a career option. The seminar was attended by over hundred school children from classes 10 onwards and their parents.
Social Entrepreneurship, by many well meaning leaders across the world is being hailed as the next big global movement. Puny though I am, I wish to state that I resonate with this conviction. So, I deeply admire the initiative taken by Mrs. Puneeta Chauhan, The Principal of Hill Top School for taking a courageous step forward and introducing children and parents to vocations that matter to society. We all know that in Jamshedpur and perhaps in most parts of India, the only careers garnering respect are medical, engineering or MBA. As a refreshing departure from this ubiquitous trend, the other career options that were included in the seminar were Human Resources, Environment and Social Work.
While making the presentation I was inspired by a statement made by Lisa, our previous intern, in one of her blogs, “It’s time to make Social Entrepreneurship Sexy” In fact I wanted to give this as the title of my post but then I dropped the idea thinking that this would be too blasphemous. The plight of Amit Trivedi scares me
If Coke advertises it’s wares and so does Nike and Apple, I do not understand why Social Entrepreneurs must be media shy or not be media savvy and trendy. Especially so, when what we advertise is concerned with most basic amenities of life like drinking water, food and education. So in the presentation I tried to make social entrepreneurship look trendy and sexy, an enticing option for young minds and not a staid and serious affair. Which does not mean that we are flippant in any sense because we grapple with some of humanity’s most pressing problems.
The presentation, being one for school kids is especially designed for people who are listening to this topic for the first time. So it is a simplistic version, which naturally sacrifices the intricacies, subtleties and subversions of this field. Please treat this as a disclaimer, in case you don’t find any profound stuff, which I reserve for practitioners of the field.
Ultimately, show this to your children

The occasion of the re-issue is our announcement of the first annual Paul and Joyce Aicher Leadership in Democracy Award.

This award will acknowledge the work of an individual and/or organization that demonstrates the values on which Everyday Democracy was founded – voice, connection, racial equity, and communities that work for all.
Paul passed away just after this booklet was published in 2002, but the commitment and passion described in these pages continue to guide our work and have touched tens of thousands of people in hundreds of communities.

Causes Supporting Charity for Elderly PeopleSERUDS INDIA
Around 52% of the elder populations in India are living in poverty and poor health problems. In this technological world, they became very backward without having any knowledge about technology. So they’re dependent on working hard for their daily earnings, they’re physically very weak. Thus charity organizations are made to help and raise them and also to give them hope to live.

Good morning and welcome back to Energy Source, coming to you from New York, where the city swelters in its first heatwave of the season.
Nearly 80 million people were under alerts in the US north-east and midwest yesterday as temperatures in some municipalities reached record highs in a test to the country’s rickety power grid.

New report offers sobering view of the energy transition
Every year the Statistical Review of World Energy offers a behemoth of data on the state of the global energy market. This year’s findings highlight the world’s insatiable demand for energy and the need to speed up the pace of decarbonisation.
Here are our four main takeaways from this year’s report:
Fossil fuel consumption — and emissions — are at record highs
Countries burnt record amounts of oil and coal last year, sending global fossil fuel consumption and emissions to all-time highs, the Energy Institute reported. Oil demand grew 2.6 per cent, surpassing 100mn barrels per day for the first time.
Meanwhile, the share of fossil fuels in the energy mix declined slightly by half a percentage point, but still made up more than 81 per cent of consumption.
This slide deck highlights CBO’s key findings about the outlook for the economy as described in its report "An Update to the Budget and Economic Outlook: 2024 to 2034."

"Social entrepreneurs are not content just to give a fish or teach how to fish. They
will not rest until they have revolutionized the fishing industry."

2. Foreword
The reason we chose William Drayton was because he stands out as a beacon of
inspiration for anyone who does not believes that he or she can make an impact
on the worldwide problem of poverty . He rose from humble beginnings to create
a lasting effect on global resource distribution not from his own pocket, but by
reaching out to the hearts of many who oppose poverty and unifying them into a
single organisation to combat the issue. Thus, he is the subject of our article
today as he proved that anyone, big or small, can make a difference by himself
being a lone forerunner whose impact was so great, that a term had to be
created to describe his efforts, as a “social entrepreneur”.
3. Background
Bill Drayton was born in New York City, a place known for his openness and diversity, on June 15th, 1953. He grew in the turbulent times of the Civil Rights
movement, but was kept grounded by his parents who instilled in him strong values of morality, equity and public service. His mother was a cellist from
Australia and his father an explorer born in the United States, and both parents had a strong family history in activism with ancestors involved in anti-slavery
and women’s suffrage issues.
Continuing in his family’s footsteps of involvement and achievement, in high school Mr. Drayton created the soon-to-be largest student organization, the Asia
Society, was an active member of the NAACP, and created and ran several newspapers. As a Rhodes Scholar (US News), he graduated with honors from
Harvard where he founded the Ashoka table, an interdisciplinary weekly forum. After obtaining his B.A., he went on to receive an M.A. from Balliol College at
Oxford University, again graduating with honors (Changing the Present). In an apparent attempt to fully round out his education, Mr. Drayton graduated with a
J.D in 1970 from Yale Law School, where he launched Yale Legislative Services to connect students with local legislators.
After graduation, Mr. Drayton spent ten years as a McKinsey consultant, and according to him, he never actually left the organization. From 1977-1981 he
worked at the EPA where he introduced the concept of emissions trading, which would become the basis of the Kyoto protocol. He founded Save EPA and its
successor Environmental Safety, initiatives intended to bring attention to the reforms needed in the environmental legislative sector. In addition, he had a brief
stint at the White House and as a professor at Stanford Law School and Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government. Today in 2008, Mr. Drayton is board chair of
Get America Working!, Community Greens and Youth Venture (Changing the Present), as well as Chairman and CEO of Ashoka.
4. Inspirations
From a young age, and spurred by his family’s history of activism, Mr. Drayton was always concerned with the great
inequalities in the world and wanted to know how he could help. According to US News, at twenty years old he drove
from Munich to India to join Vinoba Bhave in a pursuit to peacefully redistribute land more equally. Together they
persuaded individual people as well as entire villages to give up their land, in total of 7 million acres. From that
experience, as well as inspiration from Mahatma Ghandi, Thomas Jefferson and Jean Monnet (US News), he realized
the power of entrepreneurs and simple ideas to spur significant social change and speed development, thus closing
the ever-widening north-south gap.After multiple experiences,he decided to take an early initiative and started up his
own organisation dedicated to helping fund the financially needy in 1980, which we know today as Ashoka.

6. Ashoka
“Ashoka identifies leading social entrepreneurs with solutions to social problems who seek to make large-scale changes to
society. Ashoka searches for individuals who have vision, creativity, and determination and are motivated by public gain
rather than personal gain”
“Their stated mission is "to shape a global, entrepreneurial, competitive citizen sector: one that allows social entrepreneurs
to thrive and enables the world's citizens to think and act as changemakers"
Ashoka is a company set up by Bill Drayton which provides a stipend to social entrepreneurs who are
lacking in the capital to support themselves. This stipend acts as living expenses to help combat the
poverty which constrains many hopeful social entrepreneurs of this age.Indirectly, Ashoka helps to combat
poverty by mitigating the struggles that the social entrepreneurs may themselves encounter.
7. Impacts on society
• As of 2010, Ashoka Foundation has sponsored 2,145 fellows in 73 countries
• Many of which have gone out and started up their own social ventures or charitable
organisations
• The fame of Ashoka has gone on to influence many organisations to start up their own
practices in resemblance to Ashoka such as Youths Venture
• Bill Drayton has also received many prizes for his accomplishments in his field
• For example, in 2011, Drayton won Spain's prestigious Prince Of Austiria's for
international cooperation for his work promoting entrepreneurs. The prize foundation
described him as a "driving force behind the figure of social entrepreneurs, men and
women who undertake innovative initiatives for the common good."
