LOCAL EFFECTIVE ALTRUISM NETWORK
The Local Effective Altruism Network (LEAN) supports over 350 local groups working to bring EA to a wider audience, giving more people the opportunity to engage via Meetups, lectures, discussion groups, fundraisers, workathons, and more.
STUDENTS FOR HIGH IMPACT CHARITY (SHIC)
SHIC is the only global network of classes and extracurricular clubs dedicated to bringing effective altruism to students. SHIC shares a natural synergy with LEAN and online high-impact fundraising, constituting a sustained funnel of action and involvement that moves students from SHIC groups into local effective altruism groups.
ONLINE HIGH-IMPACT FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGNS AND IMPACT MISSIONS
Central to our movement building strategy valuing substantive action are what we call ‘Impact Missions.’ Impact missions are coordinated efforts with individuals and local groups around the world to take effective action. One of the most effective examples of these mass coordinated projects has been online high-impact fundraisers that were very successfully run by Charity Science.
