Giving Compass’ Take:

· This post from the Effective Altruism Forum explains how One for the World can be used as a catalyst to expand the reach and impact of effective altruism. 

· Is effective altruism the right approach for your giving? What role can you play in encouraging donors to give effectively? 

· Read an introduction to effective altruism. 


One for the World has been run entirely by volunteers since we started in 2014, but we have now made our first full time hire, with a generous grant from the Open Philanthropy Project and a private donor, on the recommendation of GiveWell. We have made significant progress in engaging larger numbers of people with effective altruism (EA) in our most successful chapters, and think there is an opportunity for this type of approach to work well in other places. Now that we have more capacity, we are looking for effective altruists and existing local EA groups that might be interested in starting and running their own One for the World chapter in their non-EA communities. We provide an infrastructure of resources and established practices that try to make it easier to get others involved in effective giving through our 1% pledge system. By utilizing our system, we think that you can raise significant funds for effective global poverty charities and help to grow your community.

We are an organization that educates students and young professionals on the principles of Effective Altruism, particularly in terms of charitable giving to effective charities combating global poverty. We encourage individuals to pledge at least 1% of their income to effective global poverty charities in our portfolio (which is based on recommendations by The Life You Can Save and GiveWell). Our members can choose to donate to a portfolio of charities (which we update once a year), or to specific charities in our wider portfolio. We try to make these donations as convenient as possible, by providing an easy-to-use platform (see our website, 1fortheworld.org) which allows donors to choose a date in the future at which their regular donations will start, a tool which we have found to be particularly effective for students.

    3 Ways Nonprofits Can Improve Their Performance by Learning from the People They Serve

    Across the United States, thousands of organizations—parent groups, neighborhood associations, civil-rights organizations, membership groups—demonstrate every day the power of people to come together and act on their own behalf. More and more nonprofits are also engaging clients or residents to deliver services more effectively and do more to solve social problems. Read the source article at The Bridgespan Group
