“Can we save some of the 14,790 children dying every day? The answer is: Yes, we can.”
We make “smart giving simple” by curating a group of nonprofits that save or improve the most lives per dollar. We aim to create a world where everyone has an opportunity to build a better life and where there’s no suffering or death due to extreme poverty.
The founder of The Life You Can Save, Peter Singer, is going on tour! In August of 2021, Peter will be visiting Auckland, Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne to discuss his work on effective altruism, animal rights, and bioethics, as well as exploring concepts around how and why COVID-19 has changed our world. For those of you who can’t make it to one of the in-person events, there’s also a live-streamed option available. All net proceeds from the tour will be donated directly to us in support of our efforts to alleviate global poverty, so what are you waiting for? Don’t miss your chance to see the most influential living philosopher live on-stage or online - grab your tickets today!
Get TicketsOur Executive Director, Charlie Bresler, explains how one does not have to be brave—even during the COVID-19 pandemic—to save lives. You can save these lives, in a cost-effective way, through our recommended nonprofits. And amazingly, you can do so while social distancing and staying home!
Smart giving combines the head and heart, allowing you to make the biggest difference where it matters to you.
