Rethink Charity

What problem is Rethink Charity working on?

Rethink Charity works to improve the world by providing vital support to high-impact charities and charitable projects.

What does Rethink Charity do?

Rethink Charity has a three-year track record of incubating and operating high-impact projects.

Its current project is RC Forward in Canada: a cause-impartial international regranting platform for high-impact charities around the world. It’s a simple way to make effective giving easier and more cost-effective. RC Forward currently features over 35 charities recommended by GiveWell, Founders Pledge, Animal Charity Evaluators, and The Life You Can Save. Through strategic partnerships, RC Forward empowers Canadian donors to make tax-deductible donations to high-impact projects worldwide.

Rethink Charity has also demonstrated its ability to pivot based on the latest understanding of its key leverage points: past projects were either passed on to new leadership, suspended, or built into self-sufficient teams, based on evidence-based analyses of their potential for impact. Recent past projects include:

• EA Giving Tuesday
• Effective Altruism Hub
• Rethink Priorities
• Effective Altruism Survey
• Students for High-Impact Charity
