ASHOKA at a Glance:

ASHOKA at a Glance Structure Ashoka operates programs in nearly 70 countries with a staff of over 200 serving in 30 offices worldwide. Ashoka is non-sector specific and addresses every area of human need. Name Ashoka takes its name from the 3rd century BC leader who unified the Indian subcontinent and was recognized as one of the world’s earliest social innovators. The organization was founded in the spirit of his extraordinary creativity, global mindedness, and tolerance. In Sanskrit, Ashoka means “the active absence of sorrow.” Funding Ashoka’s funding comes from private sources — 45% from leading business entrepreneurs, 25% from foundations and 30% from individuals and corporations. Symbol Ashoka is represented by the oak tree. A strong, sturdy tree, the oak is symbolic of the branches of Ashoka’s programs that select, launch and foster collaborations among social entrepreneurs and changemakers around the world.
