Skoll Foundation engagement report
@SkollFoundation - 411K followers on X
Measured over 11 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on September 26, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 6 interactions against 411K followers, an engagement rate of 0.002%. Measured over 11 original posts, its engagement rate beats 14% of 20,444 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 999 times each, and 0.601% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.243% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.4 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 37% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 15:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 11 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video, 9% are part of a thread and 73% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 57 interactions, about 6.3x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #skollawardee, #climateweeknyc, #unga81.

Compared with accounts its own size
Skoll Foundation's engagement rate beats 14% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 35% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.
Where this sits in the catalog
At 0.002%, Skoll Foundation sits below the 10th percentile of the 205,374 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.024%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 15:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Formats this account uses
Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 100% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 73% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | +15% | +14% to +16% | 32K |
- 100% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
- 73% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts, so a large share of this account's output sits in the weakest bucket we measure.
- Its average post runs 1385 characters, which falls in the over 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts over 280 characters run 15% above the same accounts' other posts.
These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

For @food4education Founder and CEO @wawiranjiru, dignity is a guiding principle in how she approaches serving communities across Africa. The 2024 #SkollAwardee ensures that the 620,000+ children her organization feeds daily receive delicious, hot meals that they recognize from their cultures. And, by employing mobile money tech, Food4Education enables parents to contribute small amounts to the cost of feeding their children—creating a sense of shared responsibility. At the Skoll World Forum, Wawira joined @Trevornoah of the @TrevorNoahFdn, which invests in youth development—to explore how dignity is central to both community-centered philanthropy and social entrepreneurship models that are rooted in care. #SkollWF

The 2026 #SkollWF's opening plenary emphasized the importance of dialogue, serving as a reminder that the connections forged at the Skoll World Forum are catalysts for change. Indigenous storytellers Kynan Tegar and Ana Lucía Ixchiu Hernández opened the plenary with a preview of "A Day on Earth," a participatory documentary filmed simultaneously on Earth Day last year across 26 countries. The film, produced by @IfNotUsThenWho with support from Skoll, captures everyday acts of love for our planet and makes the case that for Indigenous Peoples, every day is Earth Day. Skoll Foundation President and CEO Marla Blow took the stage next, drawing on the metaphor of mycelium to describe the connections that ground changemakers and enable their work to thrive. In a year of significant disruption, she called on the community to build something new rather than simply restore what was. Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and former Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos joined @IlwadElman of the Elman Peace and Human Rights Centre (@ElmanPeaceHRC) for a conversation moderated by journalist and Africa In the World Founder Dele Olojede. Drawing on decades of lived peacebuilding experience, they explored how to move divided societies toward dialogue, belonging, and reconciliation. Trevor Noah (@TrevorNoah) and Noubar Afeyan, Founder and CEO of Flagship Pioneering (@FlagshipPioneer), turned their attention to artificial intelligence, with its transformative potential, its risks, and the dualities that guide innovation in uncertain times. To close, Astrid Jorgensen brought her viral sensation Pub Choir (@PubChoir) to the theater, leading delegates through a lively, large-scale singalong—highlighting the remarkable possibilities that emerge when we join together.

Today at the #SkollWF, innovative ideas will emerge from every corner, as the program spotlights leaders working at the frontiers of global systems change. On the main plenary stage, we'll hear from visionaries like Dele Olojede of Africa In the World, @IlwadElman of @ElmanPeaceHRC, and Juan Manuel Santos of @TheElders. In smaller-group sessions, leaders will share the approaches and solutions driving impact—from building women's economic power with @sbasijrasikh of @solaafghanistan, to tackling global aid disruptions with Ebrima Saidy of Blue Ventures, to unlocking planet-friendly pathways to prosperity with John Mundy of @OneAcreFund.

In a moment of profound uncertainty, what is philanthropy's role? At the #SkollWF session "Philanthropy in a Time of Disruption," @yidanprize's Bruce Au, Cecilia Conrad of Lever for Change, Laura Oller of VélezReyes+, and Dimple Abichandani of New Era Strategies LLC gathered for a candid conversation about what it means to wield that power with purpose. In philanthropy’s next chapter, it means being willing to take risks, engage rather than extract, and accept that some things may not succeed. Together, we can move past reacting to disruption and collectively shape what comes next.

At the 2026 #SkollWF, comedian and philanthropist @Trevornoah suggested that businesses should aim to serve, not steal. The comedian and founder of the @TrevorNoahFdn shared the stage with @wawiranjiru, Founder and CEO of 2024 #SkollAwardee @food4education, which delivers nutritious meals for children at scale. Wawira highlighted how her model creates benefits that ripple outward throughout communities—reliable income for farmers, stable livelihoods for women who staff their centralized kitchens, and relief for families who know their children are well-fed. For social entrepreneurs like Wawira, she said the work “exists within the community, by the community, for the community.” That sense of shared ownership is what transforms a simple investment into lasting, collective prosperity.

It's the final day of the 2026 Skoll World Forum, and we're bringing it full circle. In our Closing Plenary, we'll hear from big thinkers and bold doers who will explore the concept of the ecology of us: as people, we are inherently part of nature, not separate from it. And as change leaders, the Skoll community is part of a global ecosystem of interconnected solutions. The plenary features Francis Collins, formerly of @NIH; @KateKallot of @AminiTech; Alaa Murabit of 500 Global; Alessandra Orofino of Peri Productions; and musician and activist @MadameGandhi. Don't miss it. Though the week is coming to a close, the work that began here is just getting started. The ideas exchanged this week will travel around the world, carried by the people who showed up with open minds and a commitment to lasting change. (Photos from Day Three of the #SkollWF)

At the 2026 Skoll World Forum, Richard Gere joined @projdandelion Co-Founder and Skoll Board member Pat Mitchell to discuss his new film, Wisdom of Happiness. The film shows us a timeless truth: happiness is always possible, even in the midst of uncertainty. This powerful message of hope is delivered by Nobel Peace Prize winner Tenzin Gyatso, known to billions around the world as the Dalai Lama. With disarming clarity and deep humanity, he calls each of us to help create a world where compassion is activated as our strongest force for change, and where happiness is within reach for us all.

After a full day of learning and collaboration, and an incredible opening plenary, the Skoll World Forum continues today with conversations that open our minds, and connections that fill our hearts. In the afternoon, we'll hear from dozens of remarkable speakers, including Ignicious Bulongo of Healthy Learners and Flávia Pellegrino of @PactoDemocracia as they explore how community-driven solutions can blossom into national policy. We'll learn from Adana Omágua Kambeba and Piyush Tewari (@piyushtewarii) of @savelifeindia as they examine trust as the living infrastructure beneath every functioning health system. In the evening, we'll come together as a community to celebrate the newest class of Skoll Awardees: @ChildLifePak, @SmartStartSA, and @IndusAction. And, we'll be joined by actor and humanitarian Richard Gere (@richardgere), in conversation with Project Dandelion Co-Founder Pat Mitchell about the new film he executive produced, Wisdom of Happiness, in which the Dalai Lama shares his universal message of hope and compassion. Did you register to attend a session virtually? Let us know in the comments what you're looking forward to. (Photos from Day 2 of the #SkollWF)

Change doesn’t always happen all at once, or in the most visible places. Often, it’s the quiet conversations and the chance encounters that spark ideas for social progress. At the Skoll World Forum this week in Oxford, social entrepreneurs and other bold innovators in government, philanthropy, and the private sector are seeding connections that may become the catalyst for remarkable impact around the world. That’s the magic of Oxford. We can’t wait to see how this year’s #SkollWF story unfolds.

“This time requires courage, it requires wisdom, and it requires partnership.” At the 2026 #SkollWF, @ndidiNwuneli of @ONECampaign reminded us of the critical skills and capacities that are required from philanthropies, social innovators, and other leaders in this unique global moment. As the world changes, so do the rules of impact, making trusted, consistent relationships even more essential to advancing shared goals. Our partners across the globe are leading the way in showing the sector what relational collective action looks like as they collaboratively scale innovative, strategic solutions across their communities. It’s our privilege to learn from them and follow their lead. See Ndidi join @GerkenHeather of the @FordFoundation and @raj_devex of @devex for the full “Leading Change in Fragile Times” session here: https://t.co/Rsrzugzziw

- What is Skoll Foundation's engagement rate on X?
- Skoll Foundation (@SkollFoundation) has an engagement rate of 0.002%, based on the median interactions across 11 original posts from the last 30 days against 410,702 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.002%, Skoll Foundation sits below the 10th percentile of the 205,374 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @SkollFoundation have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 14% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 accounts), which puts it in the bottom quarter for its size group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @SkollFoundation post?
- Most posts go out around 15:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day, at roughly 0.4 posts per day across the measured window.
