• How do I know where my fundraising actually goes?

  Every gift is tracked into the cause-area portfolio you’ve chosen. From there, funds are allocated across expert-recommended programmes, not tied to a single organisation. We publish regular updates on the portfolio, impact reports, and links to our evaluator partners research, so you can see the evidence base for yourself. This way you know your fundraising is always fuelling proven, high-impact solutions.Few readers

• What stops HIA from changing the charities without notice?

  Portfolios are designed to evolve — that’s how we keep them strong. Independent advisors review the evidence on a set schedule, and Race for Impact retains discretion to add, remove, or reallocate funds as needed. When changes happen, we share updates and explain the reasoning, so athletes stay part of a transparent, evidence-led process. This flexibility protects your fundraising: if one organisation falters, your effort is automatically redirected to the strongest set of solutions.Few readers

• What percentage of funds raised goes to programmes?

  We’re in our first year, so exact percentages will only be clear once audited accounts are published. What we can say now is that we run Race for Impact as leanly as possible while covering the essentials — secure payment systems, independent charity evaluation, athlete support, and global race activations. These are the costs that make the whole programme possible. Our team delivering this is tiny and that is because our principle is simple: we want gifts to fuel proven, high-impact programmesFew readers

• Is Race for Impact audited?

  This is the first year of Race for Impact, so we haven’t yet undergone an audit. Starting in 2025, Race for Impact will be audited annually, and those reports will be published (expected mid-2026 for the first cycle). As a US-registered nonprofit, our Form 990 filings will also be publicly available.
