I wanted to give a special shout out to community member @Fernando Martin-Gullans who spoke at Google this week to represent and promote one of his passions - philanthropy. Fernando has braved the stage as a professional dancer for many years but I wanted to shout out --the courage it takes to do new things --how important it is to speak --about things that matter to you --to people who need your message Way to go Fernando 😍

Hey y'all, I'm Fernando - founder of Ellis Impact, a philanthropy consulting organization dedicated to moving as much funding to the charities and programs that have the greatest possible impact on those most in need. I believe philanthropy is one of the most impactful actions anyone can take, and I'm committed to helping donors MAXIMIZE the charitable impact of their hard-earned dollars so that we can change more lives for the better. We focus on the three cause areas based on the research of 4 independent, impact-focused charity evaluators and recommend charities which are 10-1000x more impactful than the average, helping your dollars go further. 1. Extreme poverty and preventable diseases 2. Extreme animal suffering on factory farms 3. Climate change and other catastrophic risks (nuclear conflict, misaligned AI, and pandemics) We work with donors looking to give >$10,000/year and provide custom charity recommendations that align with their mission, values, and philanthropic goals. I'm giving a talk at Google in November and am looking to cultivate my public speaking skills so that I can more effectively galvanize support and move more money to where it can help the most. Looking forward to meeting and connecting with you all! 💪🏽 F.
