Elbi is a platform that brings innovation to charity and philanthropy. It removes the barriers to charitable giving, making it simple, fun and rewarding for people to make a difference – while giving great causes much needed visibility and support. By connecting digital do-gooders with charities, Elbi has so far helped 1339 causes, run by 40 charities, in 88 countries across 5 continents. The beauty is in the simplicity. Every day the Elbi community participate in 3 daily causes and do their bit to help. It’s as straightforward as sending a picture to help teach a class, sharing a fun fact to raise awareness, or taking a selfie to brighten someone’s day in hospital. Every time a user creates content in support of a campaign, they earn points. If they love someone else’s creation or the campaign, the charity receives a $1 micro-donation. If their creation is loved, they earn points. These points equate to LoveCoins which users can redeem in the LoveShop to get fantastic products from high profile brand partners, such as Fendi, Berluti, and Beats by Dr Dre. This is philanthropy for a mobile, digital age.

Founder

The Naked Heart Foundation aims to make sure that every child in Russia has a loving family and a safe and stimulating place to play. It does this through creating safe and inspiring play facilities in impoverished areas, supporting foster families and families raising children with disabilities, funding NGOs that work with such families, preventing the abandonment of children in Russia and changing attitudes towards disability. Our philosophy at the Foundation is that play is a necessity rather than a luxury.

Special Olympics is the world's largest sports organization for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, providing year-round training and competitions to more than 5.3 million athletes and Unified Sports partners in nearly 170 countries. Special Olympics competitions are held every day, all around the world—including local, national and regional competitions, adding up to more than 108,000 events a year. Like the International Paralympic Committee, the Special Olympics organization is recognized by the International Olympic Committee. This is a cause close to my heart as my sister has cerebral palsy and autism. As such, I champion fair treatment of people with disabilities all around the world.
