What we’re about
Most of us want to make the world a better place – but it's not always clear how.
Which charities use my donation most effectively?
How can I help the most people with my career?
How do I know that my efforts aren't going to waste?
In order to provide answers to these questions, we take a scientific approach to doing good – one that doesn't rely on gut instincts or blind faith. It is this evidence-based approach, combined with our motive to do good, that distinguishes us from other social movements and charity groups.
Our community exists to provide support and advice to anyone who wants to make a difference.
