Join a community of people dedicated to helping each other work towards a better world
Effective altruism is about answering a question: how can we use our resources to help others the most?
Rather than doing what feels right, we try to use evidence and careful analysis to find the best causes to work on.
But insight alone isn't enough—we follow through by directing our time and money where they'll make the greatest difference.
Effective Altruism DC is a community of people working together to put these principles into practice.

Some EAs earn money so they can donate; others work directly for effective organizations and may donate in addition. But they all understand the criteria: The causes should address large-scale suffering that’s being neglected and that’s preventable through money and effort.
