At PhysiosOnline we have decided to donate 50% of all membership contributions to GiveWell.org‘s maximum impact fund.
PhysiosOnline was set up by Evie Martin and her wife Christine, who run the project for free. We discuss the decision to direct membership contributions towards effective charities, in addition to using the funds to cover website costs and promote PhysiosOnline. This strategy motivates Evie and Christine to continue devoting time and effort to the PhysiosOnline project.
In this video, Luke Freeman from GivingWhatWeCan.org explains the principles of effective altruism.
