In a daring initiative designed with the intentions to transform modern philanthropy, the 144K Collective has formally invited YouTube sensation and philanthropic trailblazer Jimmy Donaldson, (widely recognized as MrBeast), to take part in an event they are calling "144K Vs. The Beast" – a collaborative competition aimed at enhancing charitable impact through spirited rivalry.
AUSTIN, Texas - illiNews -- The 144K Collective, a philanthropic group founded by entrepreneur Jay Davis, has challenged YouTube creator MrBeast (Jimmy Donaldson) to a collaborative competition aimed at redefining philanthropy through a fusion of viral entertainment and community-driven giving. The initiative, dubbed "144K vs. The Beast," seeks to merge their distinct models into a global movement where "competing to give" becomes a cultural phenomenon.
Two Approaches, Shared Goal
The 144K Collective operates via a decentralized model: 144,000 partners, comprised of entrepreneurs and community leaders dedicated to being "In the Business of Helping People," each contribute $1 daily, generating over $52 million annually. Ninety percent of profits go back into the company to fund humanitarian and philanthropic projects like debt relief and healthcare access.

MrBeast, YouTube's most-subscribed individual creator with 375 million subscribers, has pioneered high-impact philanthropy through viral campaigns, funding cataract surgeries, clean water wells and prosthetics for amputees. His largest endeavor to date (Beast Games) aired on Amazon Prime and has broken 44 world-records to date.
Strategic Collaboration Proposed
In a personal letter to Donaldson, Davis outlined a multiyear partnership blending competition and cooperation. "This isn't about outdoing each other—it's about creating a cultural wave where giving becomes a game everyone wants to win," said Davis, founder of the 144K Collective. "If we combine our models, we could inspire millions to turn philanthropy into a force multiplier."
Timing and Cultural Shift
The proposal arrives as younger generations demand transparency and participatory giving—values both models emphasize. MrBeast's videos average over 500 million views, while 144K's structure allows small donors to steer long-term projects.

"Imagine if helping others felt as thrilling as a YouTube challenge. That's the future we're chasing," Davis said.
Next Steps
If accepted, the partnership could launch as early as the fourth quarter of 2025, featuring co-branded campaigns, live events and media projects.
About the 144K Collective
Founded in 2023, the 144K Collective uses a for-profit model, directing 90% of profits from its 144,000 members toward global aid initiatives.
