An impact-first way to think about charity | Greg Harrell-Edge | TEDxUVA
The traditional nonprofit sector is evolving — and Proimpact Project founder Greg Harrell-Edge believes each of us has a role to play in its transformation into a new “proimpact sector.” Whether as volunteers, donors, board members, or leaders, we can help develop organizations capable of making a positive impact on the world at scale.
Before founding the Proimpact Project — a charitable organization dedicated to modernizing the nonprofit sector — Greg Harrell-Edge served for nine years as Executive Director of CoachArt. During his tenure, he led an innovative transformation that quintupled the organization’s impact on children affected by chronic illness and earned recognition from multiple awards for nonprofit innovation. Greg’s approach to leadership and strategy was shaped by both Dan Pallotta’s 2013 TED Talk, “The Way We Think About Charity Is Dead Wrong,” and the highs and lows of his father’s long career as a nonprofit leader.

- 8:45This Is What Democracy Looks Like | Laurel Lee | TEDxTampaWe’re told that America is hopelessly divided—that our politics are broken beyond repair. But Congresswoman and former judge Laurel Lee offers a different perspective: disagreement is how democracy works. In this talk, she explains why debate is essential, not dangerous, and how we can all stay in the conversation. Laurel M. Lee serves in the U.S. House of Representatives and previously served as a judge in Tampa, Florida. A former federal prosecutor and Florida Secretary of State, she brings a deep understanding of the law and a strong commitment to principled leadership. Her work in Congress focuses on national security, public safety, and defending constitutional freedoms. Drawing from her experience on the bench, she believes that disagreement is not a weakness in democracy—but a necessary strength when it’s grounded in respect.

- 7:14How social media hijacks our political perception | Luna Fast & Helin Turhan | TEDxBerlinLuna and Helin discuss how social media fragments our society by polarizing politics. In particular, they explain the echo chamber effect and filter bubbles resulting from algorithms and how these further radicalize opinions. Sensationalist journalism exacerbates the spread of misinformation and extreme political views, while politicians and influencers simultaneously manipulate social media to spread their ideology. Towards the end of their talk, Luna and Helin will offer tactics of critical analysis to protect our society from misinformation and political polarization. Luna Fast and Helin Turhan are both seniors at the Berlin Cosmopolitan School. Growing up in an international environment, they developed a multicultural perspective that sparked their interest in cultural, social, and political issues. Their passion for politics led them to participate in Model United Nations (MUN), where they honed their public speaking skills and deepened their understanding of international relations. After graduation, Helin plans to study business at Hult International Business School in London, while Luna will begin a voluntary social year (FSJ), volunteering at food banks in New York City and supporting a community center on the coast of Ecuador.This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
