Roth-Sekar Wedding Fundraiser

As you may know, both of us now work for organizations aligned with effective altruism, a movement focused on the idea that we should try to do the most we can to help others. One way we can do so is by donating to highly effective charities, also known as "effective giving," and we would like to use this happy occasion to put this commitment into practice.

This fundraising campaign allows you to make a contribution in our honor that you can split between a cause of personal significance to you and a charity found to be very effective by rigorous outside evaluators, both of which will be partially matched by the Giving Multiplier platform. The super-effective charities included in this fundraiser have a strong track record of work to prevent disease, alleviate poverty, and improve animal welfare. For example, donations to Hellen Keller International's vitamin A supplementation program likely save lives at an average cost of about $3,500 per life saved.

We've left the choice of charities open as we want to empower you to decide which causes you prioritize with your gift and how to split your donation, but if you would rather defer to us we recommend allocating 100% of your gift to one of the following: the Good Food Institute, the Humane League, or Hellen Keller International. If you're interested in learning more about these options and why we recommend them, please feel free to ask!

At the wedding, we'll share the results of our fundraiser (anonymously) to show how much we can accomplish together. Thanks in advance for making a difference!
