About Ashoka

Ashoka invests in people who see the world not as it is, but as it could be; who seek to change a broken system instead of letting it continue.

Our work is based on a fundamental insight: Behind every social innovation, there are human beings. Supporting the best of them, and connecting them with a network of peers, is the most effective way to bring about social change.  Our vision is a world where everyone is a changemaker – a world where everyone has the skill and confidence to drive social change and is committed to the good of all.
