We’re impact strategist.

We zoom out to analyze the landscape of our

biggest problems & develop holistic solutions.

And we find & create teams making the biggest impact & empower them to do more.

  • We apply the skills of a creative agency to the seemingly intractable problems of our time. We listen deeply to all sides of an issue and ask: Where does it hurt? What do you need and want? How could this be done better?

  • We invite collaboration and fund the work we think will make the most meaningful short-, mid-, and long-term impact.

  • We commit to the long-term process of solving real-world problems. When we select a cause, we invest fully in identifying the needs, following the impact of our solutions, and improving upon our efforts as they endure the test of time.

  • The heavy, dark, systemic issues we take on can easily overwhelm our minds, hearts, and nervous systems. We use sweepstakes, media, merchandise, and events to provide people opportunities to make a significant difference in a way that’s engaging, fun, generative, and not overwhelming.

Our current focus:

Human Trafficking

21-45 million people are in slavery today—more than any other time.

We’re funding missions to locate & extract victims of trafficking, provide survivors with the care they need, & close the gaps to prevent it from happening in the future.

our theory of change

We live in a complex world filled with broken systems. Fighting back can feel lonely & insurmountable. At Charity Catapult, we seek to move systems & individuals from fear to love, isolation to connection, & shame to empathy. We seek to create accessible, engaging opportunities for impact & healing so everyone can thrive.

Our Board

Our home base is Atlanta, GA, & we’ve started a chapter in Charlotte, NC.

  • Founder & CEO, ATL

    Charity Catapult was born in May of 2022 when Matt connected with Danielle. He was so moved by her stories that he decided to invest his life savings, & went all in to understand the local problems & figure out how to help make the biggest impact for good in the fight against human trafficking.

  • Police & FBI Leason, ATL

    Danielle spent her 20s serving on the Anti-Human Trafficking Task Force for Gwinnett County’s Police Department in Georgia. She worked undercover, prosecuted traffickers, participated in raids, served as a detective, and helped train other officers in Georgia.

  • Creative Director, ATL

    Joy is the founder of One of One Collective & is passionate about creating systems designed for flourishing for all. As she connected with Matt & Danielle, she began to turn her focus to the problem of human trafficking, especially designing survivor care programs.

  • Finances, ATL

    Shelby is a financial advisor in Atlanta (& a mighty fine dancer). He is grateful to lend his skills to do more good in the world & keep Charity Catapult on track.

  • Charlotte Lead, CLT

    When Tim & Xavier found out what Matt & the Charity Catapult team were up to in Atlanta, recognizing the need in Charlotte, as well, he asked if they could start a chapter there, too. Now we’re off to the races!

  • Charlotte Team CLT

    Tim & Xavier have been friends & colleagues in real estate & entertainment in Charlotte for decades. They bring their motivation to lift their city, collaborative spirits, & extensive networks together to do good while having a good time, too.
