At Giving What We Can I work to support the global effective giving community and help with the development of new effective giving initiatives. 

I also am the Executive Director of Impact Books. 

I am committed to supporting the the effective giving ecosystem. As such I may be able to help you in the following ways:

• Provide context about the global effective giving ecosystem. I am particularly interested in understanding the context in which your project or problem exists, including how it fits into the broader landscape of effective giving initiatives and organisations. To this end, I may ask you questions such as:
  • What are your goals for this project, and how do they fit into the broader landscape of effective giving?
  • How do you see your project contributing to the overall mission of effective giving?
  • What challenges are you or do you anticipate facing, and how do you plan to address them?
  • Are these challenges specific to your organisation/situation or might they be more general?
  • What kind of support or resources do you need in order to be successful?
  • How might you be able to work better with the broader effective giving community to create synergies and collaborate on shared goals?
• Share informational resources. As the effective giving community grows, we have an ever-increasing bank of case studies, charity profiles, tech resources, databases (e.g. potential hires), and examples people can learn from. I can share these resources with you and help you identify the most useful elements.
• Review project proposals related to effective giving. I can offer limited guidance on your proposal and potentially pass it on to others who might have more insight.
• Introduce you to contacts in effective giving. I can potentially make introductions to useful contacts within the effective giving ecosystem, including other organisations, individuals, and experts. Often, someone else is going to provide you with much better advice and more relevant expertise, so getting you in contact with them is the highest value thing I can do.
• Provide funding leads. I can potentially provide you with some leads to follow-up with about getting funding, including individuals and organisations that may be interested in supporting your project. While I cannot make any guarantees about the success of these efforts, I can offer some guidance on how to approach potential funders and how to present your project in a compelling way.
