									Strategic Cause Selection
				
									We believe choosing causes is the most important decision a philanthropist can make, so we think hard about where our funding can help others the most. To maximize impact, we prioritize causes based on three criteria: importance, neglectedness, and tractability.

				About Us
			
		
		
							Open Philanthropy started with the question:
How can we accomplish as much good as possible with our giving?
Our mission is to help others as much as we can with the resources available to us. So far, we’ve concentrated on selecting focus areas in two broad categories: Global Health and Wellbeing and Global Catastrophic Risks. 
Our main funders are Cari Tuna and Dustin Moskovitz.
