We focus our work on areas that address key bottlenecks in the community and play to our strengths. These approaches guide the growth and development of our programs. Communication
We want to make sure that people exposed to effective altruism accurately understand what it is. This contributes to growing the effective altruism network, as well as collaborating with partners and people who are less familiar with effective altruism. We do this by providing resources on effective altruism, as well as by prioritizing broader communications work as an organization. Education
We want to help people who are new to effective altruism find information on our thinking to date, and we want to empower them to go beyond that thinking and forge their own paths to improve the world. We do this through programs like EA Virtual Programs , supporting EA groups , and curating online resources . Connection
We want talented and motivated people to have easy and direct access to the advice, mentorship, co-founders, friends, and hires they need to improve the world. We support this primarily through our conferences and events, and also by connecting people online . Streamline information flow
We want to ensure that people who are trying to improve the world from an effective altruist perspective have the information they need to move the needle on critical problems. The community keeps finding new information and arguments, and it’s important that these are vetted and shared so that others can act on and build on new insights. It’s also important that criticism is made and heard. We do this primarily via the EA Forum . Learn more
