How We Decide Where Our Money Goes
We make shirts. We also make choices. This is about making those choices count.
What Effective Altruism means for us
Effective Altruism is a simple idea. Put help where it does the most good. Look at the facts. Choose the highest return. Act. Check the results. Do it again, a little smarter each time.
How we use it at Humanitees
We care about the planet and about people who live on it. So we ask a few questions before we give.
-
How big is the problem?
-
Is it overlooked?
-
Can our money unlock real progress soon?
-
What will we look at to know it worked?
That might point us to clean air projects near schools. Or to protecting habitats that store a lot of carbon. Or to groups that cut waste in cities at low cost. The shape can change. The rule stays the same. Spend where a dollar reaches far.
Our process
-
Each quarter we scan the field and build a short list.
-
We speak with the teams and agree on a concrete goal.
-
We make starter grants and track a few clear numbers.
-
We keep what works and drop what does not.
-
We share the results in a short public update.
What you can expect
We will show where the money went. We will show what it did. We will admit what fell short. Then we will tune the next round. Less noise. More impact. Stay tuned to learn more about this process, and consider purchasing a shirt if you want to give back effectively.
