Speaker: Brian Grasso

Brian Grasso is the Founder and CEO of Simple Charity, a philanthropic research and advising nonprofit. After raising $60,000 to alleviate global poverty during his senior year of high school, Brian learned that half of those funds went to a nonprofit that was deceiving donors about how they used resources. This painful experience made Brian passionate about effective philanthropy. He studied Economics and Global Health at Duke and has spent the past six years serving philanthropists to improve their impact.
