We know that many racers have causes and charities that are important to them. We appreciate this, and encourage you to continue to support these causes outside of Race for Impact.
However, Race for Impact has an innovative model, in which racers choose to support one of our five proven high-impact cause areas: Global Health, Mental Health, Climate Solutions, Animal Welfare, and Women's Empowerment. Each of these cause areas supports an exclusive group of rigorously vetted interventions, selected for their extraordinary effectiveness. These programs are evidenced to deliver 10 to 100 times more impact per donation than average.
When you choose a cause area, your fundraising fuels the entire fund, not a single intervention. This gives Race for Impact the flexibility to allocate where the evidence points and where the need is greatest, based on advice from our network of independent advisors. You can explore each cause area and the interventions within it here.
Why this approach? Evaluating effectiveness demands thousands of hours of rigorous analysis. That is why we base our selection process on independent evaluators and subject matter experts from organisations such as The Life You Can Save, Giving Green, Founders Pledge, Coefficient Giving and the Happier Lives Institute. Their research shapes our funds, ensuring your fundraising supports only interventions proven to work. If you are putting in the effort, your funds should too. At Race for Impact you can be confident that your fundraising is working as hard as you are. No guesswork. Just impact.
Want to fundraise for a specific charity outside our funds? You are welcome to purchase a standard HYROX ticket and set up an independent fundraiser. Race for Impact charity tickets must fundraise through our platform.
