  • “Want to feel good about making a positive impact? Giving Multiplier is a scientifically-backed innovation that allows you to support causes close to your heart AND some of the world’s most cost-effective charities!”

    Laurie Santos

    Professor of Psychology, Yale University
    and host of The Happiness Lab podcast

  • “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 González

    award-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 Singer

    Professor 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.”

    Spencer Greenberg

    founder of ClearerThinking.org
