What are my organizations chances of being selected to receive an Award if I submit an application?
The Skoll Awards for Social Entrepreneurship are highly competitive. In the 2007 award cycle, 350 organizations submitted initial applications, of which approximately 25 were selected for detailed Due Diligence and 10 were ultimately chosen for Awards. We anticipate that future award cycles will be similarly competitive. You can review the characteristics of past organizations selected at http://www.skollfoundation.org/grantees/a-e.asp. To help assess your organization’s chances of being selected, please go to the online Eligibility Quiz. This tool provides guidance regarding the criteria used in selecting awardees. In order to compete successfully, an organization should meet all of the key criteria, by demonstrating leadership by a social entrepreneur, a well-developed theory regarding the potential for achieving equilibrium change in a critical issue area, an innovation that has a track record of at least three years and tangible results.
