CHARITIES THAT
CHANGE LIVES ARE
THE EXCEPTION,
NOT THE RULE.
THAT'S WHY WE ONLY
WORK WITH THE BEST.

Our evaluators focus on identifying truly world-class charities that are optimized for impact.

Optimizing for impact starts with choosing our fields of change.
The right cause area really matters when doing maximum good so we look for a combination of these criteria:  

  1. Importance: how many individuals does this issue affect, and how deeply?  

  2. Neglectedness: Are there aspects of a cause, or opportunities to make a difference, that receive little support relative to their importance?

  3. Tractability: are there clear ways in which our donations could contribute to progress?

By working with our evaluators and their in-depth research we are able to recommend charities that we can be confident are making a huge difference in the world.

We review our charity partnerships regularly to ensure that our athletes have access to the most relevant and impactful giving opportunities.

“WE CAN, EACH OF US,
DO OUR PART IN ENDING EXTREME POVERTY.
BUT WE WON’T REACH OUR GOAL UNLESS MANY MORE CONTRIBUTE TO THE EFFORT.”
- PETER SINGER -

GiveWell

GiveWell identifies charities that can save or improve lives the most per dollar, ensuring that every dollar donated has maximum impact. They spend over 40,000 hours annually to produce the world's top research on where to give.

There are millions of registered charities but GiveWell only ever recommends a very small number of charities (four at the last count). This means our athletes can be sure that their donations will do an incredible amount of good and make a real difference in the world.

The Life You Can Save

The Life You Can Save was founded by Peter Singer, widely recognized as one of the world’s most influential contemporary philosophers. They make “smart giving simple” by curating a group of nonprofits that save or improve the most lives per dollar. Their aim is to create a world where everyone has an opportunity to build a better life and where there’s no suffering or death due to extreme poverty.

Founders Pledge

Founders Pledge are committed to not simply do good, but to do as much good as they possibly can. Research shows that the very best giving opportunities are orders of magnitude better at producing results than the average charity and that there are meaningful differences in outcomes between even good, evidence-led charities. Armed with Founders Pledge’s research we can go beyond “good enough” and ensure our athletes can be confident in supporting the true champions of the charity world.

IMPACT ISN'T MEASURED IN DOLLARS.

IT'S MEASURED IN CHANGE.
