Subject: Effective Altruism at UVA

Description: Welcome to the Effective Altruism listserv!

Effective altruism is a philosophy and social movement focused on answering one question: How can we best help others?

Our resources are limited, so we have to use them wisely. Effective altruism is the project of:
1. Using evidence and reason to find the most promising causes to work on.
2. Taking action, by using our time and money to do the most good we can.
