I'm starting an EA aligned non-profit called High Impact Athletes that is aiming to funnel donations from current and retired pro athletes and their fans towards the most effective orgs in the world.
It's still early stage but I wondered if there were any pro or ex athletes hiding in the EA Forum who might be interested in supporting the idea? I believe pro sport is a relatively untapped space for EA and potentially has huge pulling power if the athletes get their fans on board.
Many thanks,

Just saw this now and strong-upvoted it; as one of the REG cofounders, I agree with your first point. (I actually kind of disagree with your second point – the poker industry often plays up how rich poker pros actually are, and the poker pros play along, but in reality many aren't that wealthy as it seems.)
Despite this, I feel excited about HIA!
