One value adding activity which Charity Science feels well placed to carry out would be putting together the sort of promotional packs which charities with larger fundraising budgets do to support sponsored events, but which most charities favoured within the Effective Altruism movement don’t.
I found it difficult to find a simple introduction to SCI and the work they did when I was pitching it as a charity for my work’s annual charity auction. (NB: Materials seem to have improved since I did this—http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/schisto/whatwedo Opportunity may well remain, within and beyond SCI)
Thanks Chris, that’s an excellent idea and there’s a good chance that we’ll do this. It fits quite well with other things we do, such as learning a lot about the GiveWell charities and practicing pitching them in a persuasive way. It’s not exactly the same thing, but I recently made this infographic showing SCI’s impact for our donors.
