EA Philadelphia is the Philly chapter of the global effective altruism movement - a research field that aims to identify the most effective solutions to the world's most pressing problems and a community of passionate people dedicated to using their careers, donations, time, and other resources to effect positive change in high-impact ways. 

Alongside EA MIT, EA Philippines, EA Microsoft, EA London, and hundreds of other local groups, we strive to empower Philadelphians to use evidence and careful reasoning to find the best ways to help others and do good better.
