Best Philanthropists
1. Pierre & Pam
Omidyar Omidyar Network
JBReed/Bloomberg News No. 1-ranked Pierre Omidyar ap-
plies a venture-capital approach to recipients ranging from microloans to Wikipedia.
EBay founder Pierre Omidyar says the best piece of philanthropic advice he ever received was this: Don’t set up a foundation. The Omidyar Network oper-ates more like a venture-capital outfit, investing in businesses and nonprofits that aim for social change. The network and other efforts have huge multiplier effects: A $100 million fund the couple established at Tufts University is set to produce $1 billion in mi-croloans in developing countries while also turning a profit for Tufts, Pierre’s alma mater.
Wiki Money: Committed $300 million since ‘04 to such innovations as Wikipedia, “micro insurance” and technology to improve government transpar-ency.
Mind Over Matter: “Philanthropy isn’t a function of the size of your wallet.”
2. Jeff SkOll Skoll Foundation

Best Philanthropists
“the positive social returns vastly exceed the amount of time and money involved.” He’s done that for 10 years by award-ing unrestricted three-year grants to 59 entrepreneurial groups trying to build a more peaceful and prosperous world. The results can be stunning: One of this year’s grant recipients has trained armies of large rats to sniff for landmines in Af-rica, remnants of brutal civil wars there. Class in Session: Founded a center of social entrepreneurship at the Univer-sity of Oxford in England. Auteur: His Participant Media produces Hollywood films such as The Soloist, which highlights homelessness.
3. ChriS and Jamie
COOPer-hOhn The Children’s Investment Fund Foundation
As the manager of one of Britain’s largest activist hedge funds, Chris Cooper-Hahn has earned the label “ruthless.” The chil-dren of India and Sub-Saharan Africa sure wouldn’t know it. Chris sends a good chunk of the fund’s profits and fees to a foundation run by his wife Jamie, swelling it to $2.5 billion in assets. The foundation then uses leverage of another kind, aim-ing, for instance, to save kids by saving their mothers.
Helpful Friends: Foundation piggybacks on work of Bill Clinton, Elton John and others.
Best Advice: “You have to be able to de-fine what success looks like,” Jamie says.
4. eli & edythe
BrOad
The Broad Foundations
For Eli Broad to pursue a philan-thropic cause, it has to survive one test: “Is it some-thing that no one else is doing?” The Broads find plenty of ideas -- from start-ing the Broad Art Foundation, a lending library to thousands of galleries and museums, to training superintendents to run more efficient schools. They also fund young doctors’ medical research that isn’t yet ready for grants from the National Institutes of Health. All those projects add up; the Broads have given away more than $400 million since 1999. Mantra: Carnegie’s “He who dies with wealth, dies with shame.” In the Genes: A 2001 visit to a lab led to the creation of the Broad Institute, now the leader in genomics research.
5. thOmaS
SieBel
The Meth Project
Kevin Dietsch /Landov Thomas Siebel launched a program to eradi-cate meth abuse in the heartland.
Tech billionaire Siebel zeroed in on meth-amphetamine after a pal in Montana, who happens to be a sheriff, showed him how

the homemade drug was devastating rural America. Siebel, 57 years old, bank-rolled a massive ad campaign in Mon-tana -- 2,000 billboards across the state, 61,000 TV spots -- to warn teens. Result: Montana dropped from its No. 5 ranking in the country for meth abuse to No. 39. Arizona, Idaho, Illinois, Wyoming, Colo-rado and Hawaii all have replicated the program, with more states to come. De-fining Moment: Meeting with three teen addicts at a diner: “It rips your heart out.” Foundation Foe: “A lot of philanthropy is a joke.”
6. dOnna &
PhiliP BerBer A Glimmer of Hope Foundation
After Philip Ber-ber sold his on-line trading firm, CyBerCorp, to Charles Schwab in 2000 for $100 million, he and his
wife Donna focused their philanthropic firepower on just one country: Ethiopia. So far, they have financed 3,600 water wells, 400 schools and 6,500 microloans, reaching an estimated two million Ethio-pians. “We’ll spend our lifetime going deep,” says Philip. “The longer we spend in the country, the more effective we can be.”
Reality Check: Learning to sleep with rats in one family’s hut.
Best Advice: “You can’t get lost in the giving and forget the people themselves,” says Donna Berber.
7. Bill & melinda GateS Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
With $34 billion in assets and more on the way from Warren Buffett, this is by far the world’s largest foundation. It’s also hugely ambitious, aiming for such goals as an AIDS vaccine. That could take a decade or more to realize, but Bill Gates doesn’t mind. “I am pretty optimis-tic,” he says. “That’s why I keep signing the checks.” If the foundation’s long-term initiatives do pay off, it would set an entirely new standard for high-impact philanthropy. Irons in the Fire: Projects in more than 100 countries. Notable success in curbing childhood malaria. Advice to Newbies: “The first thing is in your own community, and then take the next step in poor countries.”
8. Paul tudor Jones ii Robin Hood Foundation
In a modern take on 19th-century char-ity, hedge-fund manager Paul Tudor Jones II set up his foundation in 1988 to raise money from his peers to help New York’s

poorest. Robin Hood’s board, including GE’s Jeffrey Immelt, hedge-fund giant Ste-ven Cohen and actress Gwyneth Paltrow, funds all expenses, meaning every penny raised goes directly to programs that help the poor survive or move out of poverty altogether. Former Robin Hood-ers are replicating the model in San Fran-cisco and other cities. Party Animals: A lavish annual gala draws more than 3,000 people to the Javitz Convention Center, with tickets starting at $2,000. Street Smarts: Jones says giving to education has “the greatest muliplicative powers.”
9. helen and Swanee hunt
Women Moving Millions
Helen Hunt, with her sister Swanee, has tapped wealthy women for $180 million in three years for women’s causes.
These two daughters of Texas oil mogul H.L. Hunt are harnessing the power of other wealthy women to help women at large. They tap successful women across the country to write checks for at least $1 million for women’s causes ranging
from basic health to job training. They have raised $180 million in just three years. “For the first time ever, women’s organizations are no longer getting the leftovers,” says Helen, 60. Role Model: Matilda Joslyn Gage, co-author of His-tory of Woman Suffrage. Hard Sell: “I’m not above shaming people into giving,” says Helen.
10. riChard BranSOn
Virgin Unite
After launching his own airline to chal-lenge the giants, the British magnate is taking on some of the world’s most intractable social and environmental problems. His Carbon War Room, for in-stance, rewards individuals and scientists for coming up with new ways to control global warming. The entrepreneurial ap-proach is vintage Branson, who in 2006 pledged all his profits from transporta-tion businesses over the next 10 years -- perhaps $3 billion -- to developing green energy.
Thinking Big: “I have trouble saying ‘no’ to good ideas in business or philanthropy,” he says.
Eyes on the Prize: He’s offering $25 mil-lion for a plan to remove carbon from the atmosphere.

The Urban Youth League was founded by NFL All-Pro Running Back Ricky Watters. The mission of the UYL is to assist at-risk youth in becoming leaders in their communities. UYL strives to build self-confidence and self-worth through mentoring, life skills training, exposure to the arts, music, sports, and different cultures.
As an adoptee himself growing up in the inner city, Ricky is just as passionate about kids as he is about playing football. Through the community outreach programs offered through UYL, Ricky strives to ensure that no child is left behind. Children living in struggling economic conditions, single parent homes and in foster care are like any other child who needs guidance, encouragement and support to realize their full potential. Ricky believes that by sharing his personal story and many challenges he faced as a youth and young adult, he will encourage children and teens to never give up until they reach their goals.
URBAN YOUTH LEAGUEB u i l d i n g L e a d e r s 4 T o m o r r o w
