October 2019: One for the World
Effective Altruism Funds, 2019
Abstract
A group called One for the World (OFTW) has persuasive university students and young professionals to donate at least 1% of their income to OFTW’s recommended charities. The organization has 23 chapters and expects to move more money yearly to GiveWell top charities than it spends on its budget. However, there are concerns since OFTW is a young organization with a limited track record and a high risk of failure. Furthermore, it is uncertain if donors will remain connected to GiveWell and its recommended charities over the long term. Additionally, the organization’s new executive director has limited experience, creating uncertainty about his capabilities to lead the organization effectively. – AI-generated abstract.
