What is the most effective charity at saving lives in the U.S.? The reason I’d like to know is to tell people who are considering EA just how much more good they can do by donating to charities working in developing countries. I’m thinking the most effective U.S. intervention would either be a campaign against smoking, a campaign against drunk driving, or a child mortality reduction program.
It seems plausible that http://nutritionfacts.org/ might be one of the most effective charities for saving lives in the US. Michael Greger and his team distill nutrition research to provide practical tips on what to eat to prevent heart disease, cancer and other top killers. The website has more than one million hits a month, so it seems likely that his research saves hundreds if not thousands of lives a year.
Their 2014 revenue was $571,178. So it seems plausible that nutritionfacts is saving lives at around approximately $1,000 per life saved.
As a bonus, he advocates for a plant based diet, so it seems like his research could lead to a reduction of factory farming. I have wondered if they have more room for funding for advertising their website.
