Feeling grateful this Thanksgiving season? Pay it forward!

The Kristof Holiday Impact Prize provides an opportunity for each of us to step up and support tremendous, high-impact initiatives, with all gifts matched! @KingPhilanthrop is honored to support.

What if even a $100 contribution made you a high impact philanthropist?

As a donor, the path to "high impact" is finding excellent, high performing nonprofits to which to donate. This can be hard work. But here is an unparalleled opportunity because @NickKristof and his team have done all of the vetting and heavy lifting already. They found amazing giving opportunities so that you don't have to do any research. And @FocusPhilanthro has set everything up to make this so easy. @KingPhilanthrop is honored to support.

Join us?

[Kristof Impact @KristofImpact]

Thanks to a $1M contribution from @KingPhilanthrop, this year, @NickKristof's three recommended nonprofits will equally share a $1,150,000 #HolidayImpactPrize pool!

These feel like grim times. Many feel powerless, even paralyzed. But we’re not at all helpless. Each of us has almost miraculous powers to save or transform lives, and my holiday giving guide is about exercising those powers this holiday season. https://t.co/t8GvGcpv5M

[Kim Starkey @Kim_Starkey_]

What an honor for @KingPhilanthrop to contribute funding for these extraordinary recipients! Please consider joining us. What if you could save a life?!? #HolidayImpactPrize

[Nicholas Kristof @NickKristof]

These are the nonprofits in my holiday giving guide this year, sharing a $1.15m prize. @MutualAidSudan tackles famine in Sudan. @HelenKellerIntl prevents terrible diseases for 75 cents per child. @VisionToLearn gets glasses to US kids so they can read. https://t.co/t8GvGcpv5M

Malnutrition is one of the world's most widespread child health crises. More than 400 million children don’t get the nutrients they need to grow and thrive. Climate change is making it harder to solve.

But there's hope. Investing in innovative tools and promising research can help us fight malnutrition. Even in the face of a warming world, we can ensure our children get the nutrition they need to live healthy and productive lives.

Last week, we welcomed local growers to learn about our latest field trial w/ ofi. Together, we're introducing #ClimateSmart fertilizer to almond trees, aiming to reduce carbon emissions while supporting crop health. https://t.co/rO846TAOWW 🌎

Wonderful news for Stanford! The accomplishments of Jon Levin @StanfordGSB inspire confidence that he will be a tremendous leader of the University. He brings vision and tenacity; insight and courage. Plus a wonderful sense of humor! It has been an honor to engage with Jon on @StanfordKingCtr and @StanfordSeed and we can't wait to see what he will accomplish as the new President! https://t.co/dEOIwYnfe2 via @Stanford

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. dreamed of an America “where all our gifts and resources are held not for ourselves alone, but as instruments of service for the rest of humanity.”

What does it mean to you to be an instrument of service? #MLKDay

[Mark Manson @Markmanson]

Next time you’re upset or anxious, ask yourself, “Is this going to matter in 10 years?”

No? Then get over it and move on.

[Dr. William J. Ripple @WilliamJRipple]

What more?

[Mabel van Oranje @MabelvanOranje]

“We know the evidence. Let’s translate it into action.” @Atayeshe of @UNFPA explains that comprehensive sex education will protect girls from unwanted pregnancies. Every year, 500,000 ignorant girls between age 10-14 become pregnant. It destroys their futures. #WD2023

[Melinda French Gates @melindagates]

Nelson Mandela spent 27 years in prison, helped negotiate the end of apartheid, and then became South Africa’s first Black president, where he focused on dismantling racism, poverty, and inequity.

Don't let anyone tell you that your actions can't make a difference. #MandelaDay

We know too well that : Increased food insecurity = more hunger = lower ability to engage in learning, & poorer attendance & learning outcomes.. more importantly is that the opposite is so true : Agriculture Guides matter! #EducationChangesEverything
