Lately, I have been trying to think about what we as an EA university group can do to have an immediate Positive Impact. One thing that really stands out to me is Fundraising (our movement is called Effective Altruism after all). This is not only because of the impact done through raising funds but also because a fundraiser can bring attention to the student group. It can also make more people reflect on the effectiveness of their giving. It is also scaleable, way outside of the University group, and can be made into a yearly thing. If anyone has any experience with fundraising or just wants to give their input, I have a few questions:
Do you have any advice on how to lead the most effective fundraising campaign possible?
Should it be done through a physical event like a run, or are there other better ways to organize it?
What effective NGOs are people attracted to raising money for?
Is it even a good idea to run a fundraiser as a University group?
Running a fundraiser as a University group?
What’s good, EA’ers?

Thank you in advance for your advice.
