Philanthropy I Honors

Notwithstanding his success in television and management, Fuller's proudest achievement has been his creation of "Idol Gives Back," an annual televised fundraiser that, to date, has raised more than $180 million for children and families in need, in the U.S. and worldwide.

Fuller won the Governors Award at the 2007 Emmys for "Idol Gives Back," which has become the top fund raising show in primetime television. Never before has the creator of a #1 television show given it over to charity each year. Fuller not only produces each "Idol Gives Back" fund raiser, but leverages his relationships to secure all the performing acts, from to , Annie Lenox to the .

President Obama opened this year's "Idol Gives Back" show with thanks to its participants and gratitude for its philanthropic impact. This year's beneficiaries included Children's Health Fund, Feeding America, Malaria No More (for which Fuller serves as a director), the United Nations Foundation and Save the Children's U.S. programs.

"Thanks to Simon Fuller and 'American Idol,' we will reach tens of thousands of children across America. Children in poor rural communities will learn to read and begin to lead healthy lives, and children's needs will be met in the aftermath of disasters," said Mark Shriver, vice president and managing director of Save the Children's U.S. Programs. "Many businesses talk about giving back, but Simon and 'American Idol' are leading the way with action and leadership."

In February 2008 Fuller was presented with a Visionary Award by the Producers Guild of America in Hollywood, where he was praised for his entrepreneurialism, creativity and charity work by the heads of myriad organizations as well as the British Prime Minister and Prince Charles. In light of Fuller's longtime support of The Prince's Trust, Prince Charles said, "Simon's considerable charitable work is le$s well-known [than his work on 'American Idol']. We simply could not have helped well over 550,000 young people to overcome the barriers they face ... if it were not for the support and generosity of Simon and others like him. There are many young people in the UK whose lives have been transformed, and in some cases literally saved, thanks to the contributions Simon has made."

Fuller's track record in philanthropy predates "American Idol," an early example of which was his tie-in with Green peace and Amnesty International during the Eurythmics' 1999 "Peace Tour," its profits donated to the two organizations.

Fuller's other honors include Entrepreneur of the Year (GQ Magazine, 2006), 100 Most Influential People In The World (Time Magazine, 2007) and Top Trend Setter (Forbes Magazine, 2007).
