It's not how much
you give. It's where.

Not all charities are created equal. You want to help, but you don't know who to trust, or whether your money ends up where it should. So you give and hope for the best, or you don't give at all.

Giving without the
guesswork.

High Impact Athletes was founded in 2020 by Olympians who wanted their giving held to the highest standard.

We work with independent researchers to find the charities with the strongest evidence.

Splits your gift evenly across the causes.

Examples are illustrative, not exhaustive. High Impact Athletes retains discretion to allocate funds within each cause-area portfolio, guided by impact, independent advisors and current evidence.

Please note that HIA does not evaluate individual charities. Our causes and portfolios are based on the research of third-party, impact-focused evaluators and advisors our team has found to be particularly well-suited to help donors do the most good per dollar, according to their recent investigations.

You don't have to be a pro to give like one.
