Who we are
We exist because one person brought together action and philosophy. Since our founding in 2013, our community of donors have gifted more than $100 million to fund interventions across the multiple dimensions of extreme poverty. Learn how reading philosopher Peter Singer’s book led a former executive to co-founding this organization, helping you make the most effective donations possible in the fight against poverty.
