Rethink Priorities is a nonprofit research institute that aims to identify where resources can do the most good, and helps to direct them there.

They do this by conducting critical research to inform policymakers and philanthropists, and by guiding the development of new organisations to address key problems. Their work covers important and neglected cause areas, including animal welfare, artificial intelligence, climate change, global health and development, and other work to safeguard a flourishing long-term future.

Rethink Priorities is a responsive organisation that works as all of the following:

• A consultancy doing commissioned work in response to demands from effective altruism organisations.

• A research institute driven by research agendas it sets according to its own priorities.

• A think tank aiming to inform public policy to improve the world

• An accelerator, incubator, and base for new priority projects
