Effective Philanthropy: How much good can we achieve?

Series
Uehiro Oxford Institute
How do we know when our donations are helping, and how much they are helping? Are charities roughly equally good, or are some much more effective than others? Toby Ord and Harry Shannon discuss effective philanthropy from different angles.

How do we know when our donations are helping, and how much they are helping? Are charities roughly equally good, or are some much more effective than others? And should we encourage our governments to do more?
