Effective altruism is a growing social movement and philosophy that combines both the heart and the head: compassion guided by evidence and reason.
We partner with the charities ranked by independent evaluators as being the most effective at saving and improving lives. We apply the ideas of effective altruism to the issue of alleviating poverty through private donations. You can find out more about effective altruism and other ways of doing good by visiting this website.

Our Values
Cosmopolitanism
We value all lives equally, no matter when or where they’re born. We don't discriminate on race, sex, creed or religion.
Determination
We want to see an end to global poverty and see humans flourish. We won't stop until we've got there. We hope you'll join us.
Pragmatism
We focus on results, because they matter. We apply evidence and reason to determine the most effective ways to improve the world and then act on them.
