Here are some things you can do to make a significant positive impact in the world.
We invite you to join our community of 10,000 people who have taken a pledge to donate a portion of their income to highly effective causes.
If you're not quite ready to pledge, why not start by making one donation to an effective charity?
We run regular events (mostly online) where you can meet people in the Giving What We Can community from around the world, hear what's going on, discuss effective giving, and more.

These groups discuss topics and work on projects related to effective giving, high-impact career choice, and more. They can be a great place to meet Giving What We Can members and other people interested in doing good better.
