By the way, the link in âIn one study, a 55-cent increase in the price of a bednet decreased takeup by 23 percentage pointsâ is broken.
Here one that is working: https://ââacademic.oup.com/ââheapol/ââarticle/ââ32/ââ2/ââ178/ââ2555424
Nice. Thanks! :)
Love it, thanks for writing it!
Would it be OK for you if we (Ayuda Efectiva, a Spanish effective giving org) publish an adapted shortened version? (Linking to this post, of course).
You mention Artists for Impact. Have you talked to @Fernando_MG to learn what he already tried?
Nice to hear about this!

Is there any alternative email to contact you?
Very excited to see this book becoming a reality!
show me your role models who have directly improved the world, not just the people who have told others that they should
Iâm surprised to read this. Although an important part of their job is thinking, some of those figures have founded organisations like Giving What We Can, 80,000 hours or GiveWell, which is actually (a lot of) doing. Also, pledging to donate at least 10% of their income until they retire, thus saving several lives and helping thousands of people by preventing that they get terrible diseases is âimproving the world directlyâ rather than thinking. (Although that impact is probably neglegible compared what they achieved in other ways, it is still a lot of good).
Interesting idea! Thanks for sharing it :)
I realised that there are some points in this reasoning that are not clear to me:
How would protecting large herbivores reduce the population of animals with high reproduction rates?
What would be the impact on insects?
Have you talked to One for the World? They might have tried already a similar approach.
Thanks for sharing!
I picked up eight 500 CHF donation vouchers from Effektiv Spenden during the event. My plan is to hand these out during the holidays and have my family and friends help choose where the money should go by redeeming them through Effektiv Spendenâs platform.
This approach is very interesting. I would love to know if it manages to spark good conversations :)
Some examples: GiveDirectly, Deworming (Deworm The World, Unlimit HealthâŠ), LEEP, Teaching at the Right Level Africa. See https://ââwww.givingwhatwecan.org/ââdonate/ââorganizations for more details
Edit: I missunderstood the question and replied thinking only about charities that do not save lives.
the transfer must be made to my lastly stated organisation of choice, currently The Humane League
For the impact estimation, are you taking into account how much of the donation to THL would be used specifically for corporate campaings? (since they also work on movement building, for instance)
I like the idea.
Have you tried talking to those brands and see if they would be open to moving the donations to effective causes, instead of starting a new company from scratch?
Is fundraising an activity that requires a significant part of your time and mental space? How much of your time do you have to spend in such activities?
Nice! Thanks for sharing it :)
I think I caught a typo:
but I stayed quite because of worriesâŠ
Shouldnât it be âquietâ?
Among the members who have explained their reasons for taking The Pledge, which quote did inspire you the most?
A Spanish translation is now also available.
I found the research of Founders Pledge quite interesting:
As it turns out, there is a near-linear relationship between cumulative emissions and global warming
Very interesting. Thanks!
What role would potential tipping points like permafrost loss play on the ânear-linear relationship between cumulative emissions and global warmingâ?
As far as I understood, there was a lot of uncertainty on that.
We have now published it: https://ââayudaefectiva.org/ââentregar-dinero-vara-medir
Thanks again!
