About us

Giving Multiplier was created at Harvard University in 2020 by Prof. Lucius Caviola, Assistant Professor at the University of Cambridge, and Prof. Joshua Greene, Professor of Psychology at Harvard University. Their research examines the factors that influence people's charitable giving decisions with the goal of helping people increase their charitable impact.
