Effective Altruism

“Effective altruism is a philosophy and social movement that advocates the use of evidence and reasoning to determine the most effective ways to benefit others.”

For people new to effective altruism, worth checking out the following reads:

• 80000hours.org
• effectivealtruism.org
• openphilanthropy.org/research
• givewell.org
• forum.effectivealtruism.org

As an intro to existential risks, I put together existentialrisk.info

To support a range of smaller initiatives in different cause areas such as existential risk reduction or effective altruism broadly, I can recommend the donation funds run by the effective altruism foundation with analysts evaluating the most impactful efforts to donate to, or their partner funds such as the climate fund.

A great and easy to use platform to donate is every.org Can recommend joining an EA conference and your local community to share and discuss ideas.
