For 25 years, the Skoll Foundation has invested in, connected, and championed social entrepreneurs and social innovators who have generated remarkable solutions to some of the world’s most pressing problems.
As global challenges have mounted, we have learned that to accelerate the impact of social innovators, we need to double-down on building and growing more collaborative ecosystems to drive collective action over time.
We also know that our partners can’t do this work alone, and neither can we. That’s why we came together with several inspiring social innovators to share the models and approaches that advance social transformation.
In this series for the Stanford Social Innovation Review, we explore system orchestration, collaborative funding, government partnerships, mission-aligned investing, reimagined storytelling, and evaluation and learning. These seven articles highlight successful approaches to collective action and share compelling examples of social transformation.
The time is now for philanthropy to align the speed and scale of our investments with the scope of the global challenges that social innovators seek to address. We hope this series will spark fresh thinking and new ideas for how we can create durable systemic change quickly and together.
We invite you to explore the articles below, share them with those who may find the ideas useful, and reach out to us and our partners to join the conversation.
