2021-2022 Skoll Foundation Annual Letter: Building Bridges to Transform Our World
As we publish our Annual Letter, we, like the rest of the world, are watching the horrific daily reports of devastation and loss of life in Ukraine since the invasion of this sovereign nation. We are simultaneously watching the truly inspiring courage, heroism, and determination of the Ukrainian people.
At the Skoll Foundation, we are trying to do our part to help both our grantees who work in Ukraine and the millions who are suffering. It, however, will never be sufficient given the magnitude of this challenge.
The role of social innovators and bridge builders who can find ways to help shape that world order, as well as the numerous interrelated threats they were already addressing, is more essential than ever.
We will continue our focus on pandemics and health systems strengthening, climate, democracy and governance, inclusive economic growth, and racial justice as outlined in the letter below.
This new crisis will exacerbate all of these challenges. At the same time, we will be engaging with all of you to see where and how we must adjust to our new reality as it unfolds over the next weeks, months, and years.

2yHi Don Gips thank you for all you’re doing to elevate the social innovators among us. We need more of this and especially leaders who come from, serve, innovate and live with communities from multiply marginalized backgrounds like immigrants, disabled, mixed race, non-binary and more. I’ll be presenting more on this cool new project at World Economic Forum soon. Perhaps we can engage your bridge builders too.
