Skoll Foundation is a really great organization. From he Skoll's website:

"Led by CEO Sally Osberg since 2001, our [Skoll's] mission is to drive large scale change by investing in, connecting and celebrating social entrepreneurs and the innovators who help them solve the world’s most pressing problems. Social entrepreneurs are society’s change agents, creators of innovations that disrupt the status quo and transform our world for the better. By identifying the people and programs already bringing positive change around the world, we empower them to extend their reach, deepen their impact and fundamentally improve society."

Social entrepreneurs, by nature, great innovators when it comes to creating businesses that are doing much more than growing their bottom line.
