In 1999, Jeff Skoll created the Foundation to build a sustainable world of peace and prosperity for all. The Skoll Foundation catalyzes transformational social change by investing in, connecting, and championing social entrepreneurs and other social innovators who together advance bold and equitable solutions to the world’s most pressing problems.
We invest in social entrepreneurs and other social innovators who offer a compelling vision, creative solutions, and proven approaches.
We connect our community to drive towards transformational change through our global network and convenings like the Skoll World Forum to share learnings, join forces, and achieve ambitious goals with other social innovators, funders, and key stakeholders.
We use our voice and global audience to champion the work of social innovators, helping extend their reach and expand their impact. Combining storytelling, thought leadership, and strategic alliances, we support organizations to mobilize more resources and create momentum for lasting social change.
We support organizations tackling interconnected problems and advancing solutions from every angle—from disrupting unjust power dynamics and systems, changing attitudes and behaviors, and mobilizing movements, to improving services, policies, and practices. We focus on problems and places that are ripe for change, with high potential for major impact.
