Goal
For this Giving Season, join us in donating to effective charities that make a high measurable impact on the world. Let's reflect together on the difference we can make to the lives of the least fortunate and our future generations with just a small part of our disposable income.
This year, we have selected a split between three charities:
1) GiveWell's Top Charities Fund supports the highest value opportunities that save or improve lives the most per dollar. For example, the Against Malaria Foundation (AMF) works to prevent malaria-caused deaths and illness by distributing long-lasting insecticide-treated mosquito nets in at-risk, low-income communities. New Incentives distributes conditional cash transfers to encourage caregivers to immunise their children in rural Nigeria, and help overcome barriers like the cost of transportation to a clinic and the loss of earnings from missing work to travel to a clinic.
2) The Clean Air Task Force is an international nonprofit that promotes technical and policy change for the climate. CATF values pragmatism and believes all promising options should be explored to prevent catastrophic climate change.
3) Longview Philanthropy's Longtermism Fund supports work that reduces existential and catastrophic risks, such as those coming from pandemics, nuclear war, and misaligned artificial intelligence.

Effective Altruism Hong Kong (EAHK) is dedicated to building a community of people who seek to continuously investigate what "doing the most good" means, and applying evidence and careful reasoning to practical actions – figuring out the most important problems to solve, effective charities to donate to, and career paths to enter to solve these problems.
Top Charities Fund
The Top Charities Fund improves global wellbeing by supporting the highest-priority funding needs among GiveWell's Top Charities, which are evidence-backed, high-impact, and highly cost-effective opportunities to save and improve the lives of people living in low- and lower-middle-income countries.
Climate Research & Advocacy
Clean Air Task Force's Climate Research & Advocacy program promotes technical and policy change for the climate by developing pragmatic pathways to a zero-carbon energy system across electricity, transport, and industry sectors.
Emerging Challenges Fund
The ECF works to safeguard the long-term future by providing funding to highly-effective organisations that seek to reduce existential and catastrophic risks, such as those coming from misaligned artificial intelligence, pandemics, and nuclear war.
