Effective Altruism (EA) is a global movement made up of many organisations that advocate for funding the most cost effective, evidence-based programmes for saving and improving lives, maximising the good that can be done with donations. These organisations partner with different charities and promote the charity’s programmes on their own websites. Malaria Consortium receives donations from the following EA organisations.
Ayuda Efectiva is a non-profit organisation launched in June 2020 to make effective giving more easily accessible for donors in Spain. The charity’s purposes include protecting human life and promoting effective altruism. Malaria Consortium has partnered with Ayuda Efectiva since 2021 and received funds for our seasonal malaria chemoprevention programme.
Founded in 2016, Effective Altruism Australia uses research from multiple leading charity evaluators to assess the impact that financial resources from donors in Australia can have. Malaria Consortium has partnered with this organisation since June 2017.
The Effective Altruism Foundation in Switzerland implements projects aimed at having the greatest impact on reducing suffering. Malaria Consortium partnered with this organisation in September 2018.
