## CHRISTIANS FOR IMPACT TRUSTEE’S ANNUAL REPORT For the period 1st July 2024 to 30th June 2025 Reference and administration details: Christians for Impact Registered charity number 1195605 30 Courtenay Street Kennington London SE11 5PQ Trustees: Alexander Rattee Grayden Reece-Smith Waithera Mwangi ## STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Type of governing document: Constitution How the charity is constituted: Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) ## _Trustee selection methods_ The Trustee Board is responsible for appointing new trustees subject to requirements set out in the Charity’s governing documents. Potential new trustees are assessed on the basis of their experience, skills and motivation, as well as the Trustee Board’s own assessment of its gaps and the skills required to deliver the Charity’s strategy. This is primarily assessed through a candidate’s CV and meeting with one or more of the existing trustees. ## _Additional governance protections_ Christians for Impact has a conflict of interests policy. This policy and the associated register is reviewed at least annually. Christians for Impact works closely with its USA counterpart, Christians for Impact USA, Inc., a registered (501(c)(3) organisation in the USA, EIN: 87-3363768), in ways that further its own charitable objectives. ## OBJECTS OF THE CHARITY The objects of Christians for Impact are: 1. For the public benefit, the advancement of the Christian religion, in particular the promotion of the Christian Principles of effective altruism by: - a. Promoting and conducting research for the public benefit in all aspects of effective altruism, including ethical career choices, and to publish the useful results; - b. Raising awareness of effective altruism and how to incorporate it into Christian life and faith; and encouraging fellowship with others on a similar journey; - c. Carrying out religious devotional acts. 2. For the public benefit, to promote the efficiency and effectiveness of charities and organisations whose purposes are charitable in direct pursuit of their objects, including by: - a. providing training, conferences, seminars and resources on effective altruism, what effectiveness looks like and how to improve it; - b. advising on and assessing the administration of charities to provide support with the measurement, improvement and communication of their impact; - c. advising and educating on fundraising and planned giving for charitable purposes; - d. advising and guiding people willing to undertake voluntary service and organisations using volunteers to make the most effective use of their support. ## ACTIVITIES AND OBJECTS _Background to understanding the activities carried out by Christians for Impact_ Christians For Impact’s activities from 1st July 2024 to 30th June 2025 can be split into three categories: ## _1. UK and Global Community Building_ Christians for Impact is seeking to promote effective charity and build a community that enables individuals to maximise their impact. Community building was expanded significantly during the 2024–2025 fiscal year. The flagship event was a two-day in-person conference in London in November 2024, which welcomed 158 attendees and the former Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby for educational talks, discussions and workshops. The conference received an average feedback rating of approximately 8.6 out of 10. In addition, retreats were held in Cambridge (October 2024, approximately 14 attendees), New York City (September 2024, 9 attendees), Washington D.C. (September 2024, 9 attendees), and the UK (July 2025, approximately 14 attendees). The charity also organized a presence at Effective Altruism Global conferences, including EAGx Berkeley, EAG Boston, EAGx Nordics, EAG London, and EAGx Nigeria. One-to-one conversations and career mentorship continued to grow, with mentorship feedback averaging 9.5 out of 10. Career workshops were run in partnership with Just Love and other Christian groups. _2. Websites, Social Media and Resources_ In addition to the website www.eaforchristians.org, the charity continued to develop www.christiansforimpact.org with significant new content. A new resources overview page was launched, along with a series of 10 “Key Concepts” articles, approximately 15 career profiles, new problem profiles on AI Risk and Human Trafficking, and a Theology of Discernment Quiz with 12 accompanying articles. Over 13 new SEO-tailored blog posts were published on the Christians for Impact website, and 4 new articles were published on the Christ and Counterfactuals Substack. The charity’s online presence expanded to include LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube Shorts. The Christians for Impact newsletter grew to over 2,100 subscribers, and the Substack readership grew to 320 subscribers. The Christians for Impact website sustained approximately 7,000 average monthly visitors. The book project “All The Lives You Can Change: Effective Altruism for Christians” progressed to final manuscript submission, with publication expected between January and May 2026. ## _3. Podcasts, Videos and Online Events_ Christians for Impact published at several new podcast episodes. Six problem profile videos were released covering topics including animal welfare, policy, pandemics, health, nuclear risk and poverty. Longer-form YouTube videos were produced on topics such as the definition of impact and individual agency. The charity also hosted career workshops online, including sessions in partnership with Just Love, and hosted the third meeting of the EA Career Advising Meta Forum focused on Monitoring and Evaluation. ## _A commitment to creating a public benefit_ All decisions taken by Trustees were taken solely with concern to creating benefits for the eventual beneficiaries, and any benefit to the immediate community was incidental to achieving this aim. ## Beneficiaries When considering the projects undertaken it is helpful to distinguish between the immediate community and the eventual beneficiaries: The immediate community are Christians in the UK and globally whom we support, encourage and inspire to give of their time, skills and money to charitable purposes, and to have concern for the efficiency and effectiveness of those contributions. The eventual beneficiaries are the people who benefit from the contributions of time, skill and money. They represent as diverse a group as charitable causes cover, including, but not limited, to people living in poverty in developing countries, and future generations, who might be impacted by climate change. ## Activities The 2024–2025 fiscal year saw continued growth in both in-person and online activities, building on the momentum of the post-pandemic period. The charity’s reach and profile grew considerably through its conference programme, expanded digital presence, and new partnerships.
