Program areas at The Life You Can Save
RASING FUNDS FOR EFFECTIVE CHARITIES: In 2023, we directly processed US $6.3M for our recommended charities as agency funds. In addition to donations directly processed by our organisation, we inspired donors to give large amounts either directly to our recommended charities themselves or through other mission aligned organisations. Globally weestimate that we either directly raised or inspired US $16.9M in donations to effective charities (Our "Total Money Moved" Metric).
PROMOTING THE IDEA OF EFFECTIVE GIVING: In addition to generating support for our recommended charities, we work to popularize the idea of effective giving and inspire more people to make smart donations with our free informational tools and resources - most importantly, our founder Peter Singer's book "The Life You Can Save". In 2023, we distributed 26,000 copies of the life you can save in complete and abridged formats including a celebrity-read audiobook and a podcast - all for free wherever possible.
