Executive summary: This post shares 15 practical, low-effort ways individuals can meaningfully support their local or national EA groups, emphasizing that even small, routine actions—like inviting a friend, commenting on posts, or donating a little—can compound into significant community growth and impact.
Key points:
Simple social actions (inviting friends, welcoming newcomers, or casually mentioning EA in conversation) help expand group membership and retention by lowering barriers for newcomers.
Digital engagement (liking, commenting, sharing posts, or inviting LinkedIn contacts) amplifies visibility through algorithms and personal networks, often more effectively than paid advertising.
Micro-contributions of time or expertise (answering Slack questions, offering quick mentoring, or completing small professional tasks) strengthen the group’s collective knowledge and reduce resource constraints.
Personal storytelling and feedback (sharing how EA has helped you or suggesting improvements) deepen members’ sense of connection, inspire others, and improve organizational offerings.
Financial support—even very small donations or employer-matched contributions—signals commitment, sustains programs, and can attract external funders by showing grassroots backing.
Building tiny habits (like dedicating 5 minutes weekly to an EA action) creates consistency and increases the likelihood of scaling up involvement over time, fostering sustainable community momentum.
