Welcome to the George Washington University chapter of Net Impact!
Net Impact’s mission is to improve the world by growing and strengthening a network of new leaders who are using the power of business to make a positive net social, environmental, and economic impact. With over 120 chapters across the world, a central office in San Francisco, and partnerships with leading for and nonprofit organizations, Net Impact enables members to use business for social good in their graduate education, careers, and communities.
We believe that business can both earn a profit and create positive social change. Net Impact enables us to transform this ideal into measurable results.

GWU NET IMPACT FELLOWSHIP
Every year, Net Impact of GWU offers a Summer Fellowship. The fellowship allows graduate students to accept unpaid or low-paying internships that focus on solving the world’s toughest social, environmental and economic problems.
Who can receive the Fellowship?
Applications will be available April 1st and all Net Impact members are eligible to apply. An independent group of three judges (a professor, a professional Net Impact member, and an alumni) will judge the applications and choose a recipient of the funding. The winner of the Net Impact Summer Fellowship should have an internship with a nonprofit organization, government agency, or other related area, using their business skills to advance socially and environmentally innovative projects.
Where is the money coming from?
The money comes from a variety of sources. GWU Net Impact is holding a silent auction. We are actively seeking donations for the auction - gift certificates, popular items, etc - please contact Dawn Marie Mancini at dmancini@gwmail.gwu.edu or Alex Chaikin achaikin@gwmail.gwu.edu if you would like to contribute in any way.
