Effective altruism is an ongoing research field that aims to find the best ways to improve the world, through the use of evidence and careful reasoning. It’s also a community of people who strive to take action on that basis, and to do the most good we can. Here’s an article explaining this in much more detail: Introduction to Effective Altruism

At Effective Altruism at Georgia Tech, we try to apply the principles of effective altruism to help interested students have as big of a social impact as they can with their lives; whether that’s pursuing a social impact career that tackles a key pressing global problem, or through donating to highly effective charities.
