We’re Christians excited about doing the most good possible.

An especially good tool for this is effective altruism — the idea of using evidence and reason to find the best ways to do good.

In a new book, our cofounders argue for Christian effective altruism:

Here’s how EA has helped Christians so far

  • "It's been exceptionally encouraging to be part of a highly motivated and dynamic community who is committed to both helping improve the world and doing so in a thoughtful, intentional way."

    Joy Bittner, Ecuador

  • "I already knew I wanted to find the best and most effective charities. EA gave me the tools to think about how to think about and find those charities."

    Jared Peterson, USA

  • "I learnt that there's much more than what I had thought. I had plans for earning to give, but I felt that it would not make me satisfied. Now I want to explore my options to see which career is worth taking."

    Sruthi Kuriakose, India

  • "Totally changed the make up of my financial giving."

    Joe Walsh, UK

  • “Has completely changed what I do with my money/giving and just generally turned charity/"making a difference in the world" on its head for me!”

    Esther Beer, UK

  • "EA has made me more serious about looking at the evidence and about being open to different causes."

    Dominic Roser, Switzerland

  • "EA has provided me with a framework to analyse and prioritize the most effective means of making a difference. It has allowed me to filter out the noise and concentrate on areas where my efforts can truly bring about meaningful outcomes."

    Pepsy Penom Audu, Nigeria

  • "I now feel more optimistic about being able to make a difference with what I can do with my life as I have found a group of people with similar values to get more expert advice and guidance from. "

    Grace Braithwaite, UK

  • "It has led me to understanding animal welfare and focus more on the most neglected group of animals- farmed animals. Connected me to Animal Advocacy Africa, where my capacity has been built to better help farmed animals."

    Geofrey Junior Waako, Uganda

  • "After learning more about EA, I changed jobs to increase our giving. It is helping me more rigorously evaluate how I spend my time and what is being effective."

    Scott MacLellan, Canada

  • "I never thought about working as an economist, for a Christian organisation living in a lower middle income country. But EA Christianity showed me the countless possibilities to truly make a difference in this world by ultimately bringing people towards the Lord."

    James Senanayake, Australia
