Organizations seeking to apply for the Skoll Awards for Social Entrepreneurship should familiarize themselves with the eligibility criteria. The Awards have an Eligibility Quiz for applicants to assess their eligibility and potential competitiveness for the awards. This also saves time for the applicant organizations and immediately check themselves whether they really qualify for the awards. Skoll Awards are very competitive and only few organizations are finally selected. Therefore, the Eligibility Quiz seeks to bring in qualified organizations to enter the further processes of the application procedure.
After completing the first stage of the application procedure i.e. the Eligibility Quiz, applicant organizations can move forward and fill the online application through the Skoll Foundation’s website. This application will be reviewed by the Foundation staff and as part of the third stage of the application process, the selected applicants will be requested to submit a full proposal. The fourth stage is Due Diligence which includes “interviews, a site visit, reference checks, follow-up questions, an in-depth financial review and a discussion of grant objectives.” In the final stage of the process, the awardees will be selected and there would be around 8-12 awards given out during each 12-month cycle.
The next and final deadline to apply for the awards is 4 August 2010. For more information, visit this link.
