Marcus Daniell, the Founder and CEO of High Impact Athletes, is this episode’s guest. Marcus is a professional tennis player and two-time Olympian representing New Zealand, and founded HIA after he engaged with the Effective Altruism philosophy and movement. Effective Altruism asks “how can we best help others,” and answers that with, “by using evidence and reason to find the most effective causes to contribute to and by using our time and money to do the most good we can.” HIA and Marcus (who has pledged to donate at least 10% of his annual winnings to nonprofits in the global health, environmental and animal welfare sectors), have been recruiting other athletes to take that pledge and learn how they too can do the most good with their charitable dollars and high profiles.

Ronald Carter, the President and CEO of Children Incorporated, joins Charity Talks and discusses CI’s mission to help impoverished children in the United States and 22 countries around the world. CI does this in two key ways: through child sponsorship and special funds. Sponsorship ensures that children in poverty get the basic necessities, such as food, clothing and school supplies. Special funds take one-time donations and use them to support feeding programs, skill training programs and housing improvements, among many needs that CI addresses. Combined, these impactful programs are helping thousands of children each year. (0:25).
