Effective altruism is a philosophy and social movement focused on a single question:
How can we best help others?
Join us in Christchurch this September for NZ’s first EA Summit
Whether you’ve been involved with EA for years, or are new and keen to explore, this is the best NZ opportunity to connect, exchange ideas, and discover actionable ways to make an impact.

How do we choose what to prioritise?
There are so many problems in the world that deciding what to work on can feel overwhelming. Should we focus on people or animals? Curing cancer or combatting climate change?
It can seem impossible to compare such different ways of doing good, but with sufficient evidence and careful reasoning, we can begin to answer these questions.
Donate to highly effective charities
You donate highly effective global health and development charities through the EA NZ Charitable Trust, and to organisations working in other cause areas through our donor-advised fund.
