The Life You Can Save was founded by Melbourne-born Peter Singer, widely recognized as one of the world’s most influential contemporary philosophers, to advance the ideas in his 2009 book The Life You Can Save: Acting Now to End World Poverty. In it, Peter argues that if we can provide immense benefit to someone at minimal cost to ourselves, we should do so.
The Life You Can Save is a registered charity in the United States and in Australia and undertakes two primary activites: spreading the ideas of the book through multiple marketing channels; and researching and evaluating charities within our inhouse team to make “smart giving simple” by curating a group of nonprofits that save or improve the most lives per dollar. We aim to create a world where everyone has an opportunity to build a better life and where there’s no suffering or death due to extreme poverty.
