Our Story
Â
We exist because one person brought together action and philosophy.
Since our founding in 2013, our community of donors have gifted more than $100 million to fund interventions across the multiple dimensions of extreme poverty.

“Thanks to your work, we likely donate more to charity than we would otherwise, and it is highly likely that our contributions do more to ease suffering in the world than if we researched individual charities ourselves.”
“Thanks for helping me feel more confident about giving. I am aware of the phenomenon of toxic giving, also wasted giving, so sometimes am not certain how to proceed. Your organisation helps.”
“I felt so small and helpless in view of all the problems and The Life You Can Save has given me the confidence that I can do something worthwhile and given me the guidance how to do it.”
