Skoll Foundation Leverages Technology To Inspire Grassroots 'Giving Circles' With A Global Focus

(CSRwire) As grassroots �giving circles� take hold across the country, the Skoll Foundation has launched a campaign that merges the impact of television with the reach of the Internet to inspire charitable giving internationally.

The Skoll Foundation�s new initiative is designed to use the power of media to interest Americans in helping to solve social and economic problems far from home. Following a $1.7 million investment in The New Heroes, which will premiere June 28, the foundation created a DVD with four compelling documentary stories excerpted from the 12-story television series. The foundation is giving the free DVDs to individuals who host informal gatherings and grassroots giving circles across the country."
