Jeff Skoll – Skoll Foundation – Uncommon Heroes

Jun 3, 2009   //   by evebutterflies   //   Blog, uncategorized  //  2 Comments

I have found myself in absolute admiration for Jeff Skoll and the work that he’s doing with the Skoll Foundation and the Uncommon Heroes documentaries. After seeing his TED talk “Film producer Jeff Skoll (An Inconvenient Truth) talks about his film company, Participant Productions, and the people who’ve inspired him to do good.” It led me to looking further into his career of shedding light on Social Entrepreneurship.

“I started Participant Productions with the vision to be a global media company focused on the public interest and our mission is to produce entertainment that creates and inspires social change.” –Jeff Skoll
