Legendary British climber Mo Anthoine used the phrase "Feeding the Rat" to describe the intensity of experience he craved. Mainstream philanthropy provides few opportunities to feed the rat; however, when you make yourself fully accountable for impact, charity is transformed into real investment with all its risk and opportunity. Real impact is harder to find than money -- a quest for impact turns the doer and donor power relationship on its head, and accountability for impact gives philanthropy an edge it badly needs.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event:
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
