​Most of us want our money to make a real difference, but charity impact varies dramatically: the most effective organizations can achieve 10x, 100x, or even 1,000x more good than the average with the same resources.

​How do we actually figure out which causes and charities matter most? What role does individual giving play alongside systemic change, policy, and career choices?

​In this first edition of our Cause Area Discovery Series, we sit down with practitioners leading the effective giving movement in Switzerland to unpack how donations can be leveraged for extraordinary impact.

​🎙️ Guest Speakers

• ​Philipp Augenstein (Country Manager Switzerland, donation advisor, and author at Effektiv Spenden, a non-profit organization that researches and recommends charities based on measurable impact)

• ​Cyrill Delfgou (Organizer at Give & Gather, a social community in Zurich connecting people who want to exchange ideas on effective giving and inspire each other)

​👥 Who This Is For

​Whether you already donate regularly, are curious about evidence-based charity evaluations, or are completely new to Effective Altruism, everyone is welcome. No background knowledge required!
