Effective altruism is a new movement focused on the deceptively simple idea that we should try to do as much good as we can, as effectively as we can.

GiveWell is a non-profit dedicated to finding outstanding giving opportunities and publishing the full details of its analysis to help donors decide where to give. Peter Singer wrote of their work,”GiveWell has filled a huge gap, and at the same time has started a major trend towards transparency and demonstrated cost-effectiveness in the charitable world.”

This event is open to the public. Come hear updates on GiveWell’s work and ask any questions you may have, both practical and philosophical.
