Sally Osberg, President and CEO of Skoll Foundation

Professor Joel Fleishman, Director of the Center for Strategic Philanthropy and Civil Society based at the Sanford School, and Sally Osberg, President and CEO of the Skoll Foundation, discuss the current philanthropic initiatives of the Skoll Foundation. The mission of the Skoll Foundation is to drive transformative change by supporting the social entrepreneurs who recognize the systems in need of change and then advance social progress by developing powerful models for change that disrupt a suboptimal status quo and transform our world for the better.

Since 1999, the Skoll Foundation has led the charge for social entrepreneurship, buoyed by the knowledge that social entrepreneurs are the world's best bet for solving some of world's thorniest problems. The Skoll Foundation has invested approximately $400 million worldwide, including the Skoll Award to 118 social entrepreneurs and 96 organizations on five continents.
