Laurie SantosProfessor of Psychology, Yale University

“When I started giving to effective charities, I struggled because I didn’t want to give less to my favourite organizations. Giving Multiplier is a platform that solves this problem by directing some of your giving to effective charities and adding matching funds in order to maximize the collective impact of our charitable gifts!”
José Gonzálezaward-winning singer/songwriter

“Is there a special charity you want to give to because you have a personal connection, but at the same time you know that, dollar-for-dollar, it won’t do nearly as much good as other charities you could give to? Amazingly, you can do both, and still not give less to the most effective charity you can find! Check out Giving Multiplier!”
Peter SingerProfessor of Bioethics, Princeton University
and author of The Life You Can Save -
“Giving Multiplier is a brilliant tool for anyone who believes in doing good effectively but doesn’t want to abandon their personal connection to specific causes. It helps you do what is simultaneously meaningful to you and highly impactful.”
