The organisation works to inspire people to help the world’s poor and empower them to make the greatest impact possible. It aims to create a world where everyone has an opportunity to build a better life, and where there’s no suffering or death due to extreme poverty. The Life You Can Save “makes smart giving simple” by curating a group of nonprofits that save or improve the most lives per dollar. We’re short-changing ourselves - let alone the people we’re trying to help - if the charity we choose to support isn’t cost-effective, evidence-based, and well-run. We need to base our giving on an objective analysis of what works. It’s what inspires charitable donations in the first place.īut truly making an impact also requires the head. This personal connection to giving is good and necessary. Most of us base our giving decisions on the heart: a loved one has suffered from a disease, a friend asks us to invest in a cause, a local organisation asks us to support the community. What problem is The Life You Can Save working on?
