• Effective Altruism Follow-Up: Where Should My Money Go To?

  If you’re willing to take a little more risk (i.e. Make bets on more speculative but potentially even more effective interventions), you’d probably be interested in EA Funds. They have a global health fund, which likely overlaps with GiveWell considerably, but also an animal welfare fund, an EA community-building fund, and a long-term future fund which focuses on things like existential risk. - Source: Reddit / about 1 year ago
