1 Driving large scale change by investing in, connecting, and celebrating social entrepreneurs and the innovators who help them solve the world s most pressing problems Principal Skoll Awards and Community Search conducted by

2 Skoll Foundation Principal, Skoll Awards and Community 1 The Skoll Foundation The Skoll Foundation was created by Jeff Skoll in 1999 to pursue his vision of a more peaceful, prosperous, and sustainable world. It is now one of the leading foundations in the field of social entrepreneurship. The mission of the Skoll Foundation is to drive large-scale change by investing in, connecting, and celebrating the social entrepreneurs and innovators who help solve the world s most pressing problems. The Skoll Awards for Social Entrepreneurship Every year, Skoll selects four to five extraordinary social entrepreneurs for their work creating innovative models to spark large-scale change. The Award begins a partnership in perpetuity designed to support the success of the Awardees and their organizations far beyond the limits of ordinary grantmaking. The Foundation applies its own resources, skills, and assets augmented by its networks of investors, media, and other strategic partners to accelerate innovations and break down the barriers to social change. Over the past 11 years, the Skoll Awards program has invested in more than 96 organizations around the world and celebrated the 119 social entrepreneurs behind their success. Beyond the initial Award, we create strategic partnerships to further the progress towards large scale systems change of Awardees. We identify areas of opportunity within our portfolio and co-create investments with our Awardees of time and talent, grants, or program-related investments. We invite outside organizations, generally bilateral or other large scale funders, into partnership on the investment and manage those relationships in an effort to catalyze change on a larger scale.

3 Skoll Foundation Principal, Skoll Awards and Community 2 The Opportunity The Skoll Foundation seeks seasoned, strategic business professionals who lead with tough-minded optimism and a global view to serve as Portfolio Principals and Beyond the Awards Principals. The Principal team is responsible for the Skoll Awards for Social Entrepreneurship and Beyond the Awards investments. The goal of the team is to accelerate the progress of social entrepreneurs to achieve large scale and lasting systems change. To achieve this, it identifies, evaluates, and leads the agenda for engaging Skoll s network, staff, and resources. Where appropriate, the team evaluates the opportunity for grants and program-related investments in Awardees with whom we see exceptional potential for large scale and lasting change in the world. Principals are significant individual contributors and collaborative advisors to grantees and multiple external partners. They report to the Senior Director of Social Entrepreneurship and work in close collaboration with peers across Skoll programs and practice centers, the Chief Strategy Officer, and the executive team to advance knowledge and evidence of scaling impact. Portfolio Principals play the lead role in the selection of new opportunities each year and develop a healthy, long-term pipeline of potential investments. With a focus on increasing impact, each Principal manages a portfolio of 7 to 10 Awardee organizations and partners on an ongoing basis: connecting them to other networks; understanding the breadth and depth of their work and progress towards large scale systems change; and identifying creative opportunities to help advance their work far beyond the initial grant. Beyond the Awards Principals recommend timely, strategic investments by analyzing issues and impact data from Skoll s portfolio of nearly 100 Awardee organizations. These Principals develop relationships with large funding partners to leverage broader social change using innovative social investment models.
