    About Skoll Fund Co Silicon Valley Community Foundation

    Skoll Fund Co Silicon Valley Community Foundation’s recent grantmaking is marked by large general-support awards and an unusually broad mix of issues, from health systems and climate to civil participation and arts and culture. In 2025, Mayo Clinic received $4,500,000 for general nonprofit support, while Panorama Global received $3,177,000 for general nonprofit support the same year, signaling a willingness to back established organizations at a high level. The foundation also made $3,000,000 to The Alliance for Climate Protection for environment work and $2,240,000 to New Venture Fund for civil participation, showing that its portfolio reaches beyond one subject area. Health is another visible thread: Medic Mobile Inc received $2,100,000 in 2024, Village Reach received $2,050,000 in 2024, and Columbia University received $1,500,000 in 2025 for health. The grant list also includes support for Food for Education Foundation Inc for food security and Illumi Native for arts and culture, suggesting a multi-issue funder that combines large institutional grants with thematic program support.
