About Us
Effective Altruism is a growing social movement that combines both the heart and the head: compassion guided by data and reason. It's about dedicating a significant part of one's life to improving the world and rigorously asking the question, "Of all the possible ways to make a difference, how can I make the greatest difference?" Effective Altruism: Duke aims use this framework to provide students on Duke's campus with the tools to evaluate charities and career paths to figure out where they can do the most good.
