My New Orleans EA/LW-adjacent group is launching a “Philanthropy Day” in New Orleans. Our goal is to kickstart a new generation of giving. We want to work with as many EA-adjacent causes as possible. Here is more info on the event: http://give.philosophers.group
The more EA participation, the more likelihood that funds raised through the event will go to causes we care about. That’s because @Sam Anschell is helping us host a “giving game”. The audience will decide where proceeds go, choosing from causes selected by talk leaders.
Please get in touch if you’re interested. I am happy to answer any questions here too and discuss the philosophy behind the event.
My theory is that a fun event like this can instigate conversation around EA issues with a philanthropic public that is apathetic about the causes we care about. That theory has been realized through my own NOLA group, 11:11 Philsophers Group. We’ve given away over $200k and have attracted over 70 members. I hope this 11⁄11 event builds on lessons learnt, as we endevour to build a world stage for a new generation of Philanthropy.
