Dr. Larry Brilliant Joins Jeff Skoll to Combat Global Challenges

“In the Skoll Foundation's 10 years of work, we have built a portfolio of outstanding social entrepreneurs, many of whom are attacking these urgent threats in highly innovative ways; this body of work will both benefit from and be a resource to the new Skoll Urgent Threats Fund and its activities,” said Osberg. “Even for those social entrepreneurs focused on other arenas – poverty, human rights, institutional responsibility, health – the negative impact of these urgent threats makes their challenges a whole lot tougher. Clearly, these are mutually reinforcing ventures.”
