Local charities are vital, and we encourage you to keep supporting them. Race for Impact is a different option: it is for Impact Racers who want their fundraising to fuel expert-curated funds where contributions are directed to the most effective interventions worldwide.
Many Impact Racers choose to do both, supporting causes at home while joining a global movement where Impact Racers compete together for a better world.
