Organizations Filed Purposes:
Rethink Priorities mission is to bridge the gap between charitable interventions and the most neglected causes by providing expedited, professional research valuable to the non-profit sector on an ongoing basis in the areas of animal welfare, existential risk mitigation, mental health, and global health and development.
Animals: We research how advocates can have the greatest impact to improve the lives of animals, including farmed animals, wild animals, and invertebrates. We distribute this information to foundations and nonprofits working on animal welfare issues and to the general public. In 2020 we published several original publications, and conducted hundreds of hours of research.
Longtermism: We research how to improve the likelihood that humanity survives into the longterm future, and how we might be confident that we can have an impact on the wellbeing of people over long time spans. We distribute this information to foundations and nonprofits working in the space and the general public.
EA Meta: We research the effective altruism community, including trends and demographics, to help ensure that a community of activists and thinkers interested in improving the world as effectively as possible is resilient and survives into the future. In 2020, we ran the annual effective altruism survey, and published the results of the 2019 effective altruism survey.
