Vancouver Forum for Effective Altruism

How can we do the most good with what we have?

For over fifteen years, the Effective Altruism community has been revolutionising the cost-effectiveness of both charity and government aid. We go in-depth on ethics, policy, economics, and technology. If you want to learn how to actually change the world, then join the movement! You can find more details on EventBrite.

Thanks to our sponsor: Rethink Charity
