Will my fundraising only go to one charity or to the whole fund?

Your fundraising powers a portfolio of high-impact programmes within your chosen cause area. Instead of being tied to a single organisation, these ‘blended’ funds are spread across a curated mix of expert-recommended solutions. We don’t run these programmes ourselves — they’re delivered by world-leading organisations. Our independent advisors review the evidence regularly, and Race for Impact keeps the flexibility to add, remove, or adjust allocations across the portfolio. This way your effort always fuels the strongest set of solutions, and every gift goes where it can do the most good.


Each programme in each fund meets a high bar for evidence and impact, but they may work in different ways — for example, in women’s empowerment one may reduce gender-based violence while another expands access to maternal health. Blending them together spreads risk, captures more of what works, and gives athletes a simple way to back the strongest mix of solutions rather than investing in just one.
