Embracing the spirit of innovation, we implemented several new techniques to attract the most promising applicants this year. We introduced an eligibility quiz, revised our age recommendation to be more inclusive, and prioritized strategies to increase the number of female applicants.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Geographic diversity was another paramount objective for us, with diversity actually including fostering greater engagement with domestic U.S. applicants. By embracing these new strategies and approaches, we are confident that our cohort for this year will be exceptionally talented, diverse, and united in their dedication to driving meaningful change across the globe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These are some of the countries from which we received applications for the first time:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Peru\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Uruguay<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Venezuela<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vietnam\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cambodia<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Azerbaijan<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Portugal\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kazakhstan<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mauritania<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GGF\u00a0 remains steadfast in its dedication to empowering social entrepreneurs who drive positive change on critical issues related to health, education, environment, economic mobility (through job creation), and financial inclusion.
