If so, then you need to read this book. In Six Principles for Actually Improving the World When Giving Away Money, philanthropist and author Peter Singer lays out six principles that can help you make your donations count.

The Six Principles

1. Give to the most effective charities. Not all charities are created equal. Some charities are much more effective at making a difference than others. When you give to the most effective charities, you can be sure that your money is being used to make a real impact.
2. Give unrestricted funds. When you give unrestricted funds, you allow the charity to use your money in whatever way they believe is most effective. This gives the charity the flexibility to use your money to fund the programs that are most needed.
3. Give regularly. Giving regularly allows the charity to plan for the future and make long-term investments in their work. It also helps to build a relationship between you and the charity.
4. Give as much as you can afford. The more you give, the greater the impact you can make. Even a small donation can make a difference.
5. Encourage others to give. When you talk to your friends and family about giving, you can help to spread the word about the importance of philanthropy. You can also encourage them to give to the charities that you support.
6. Be patient. Change takes time. Don't expect to see results overnight. But if you are patient and persistent, you can make a real difference in the world.

Why These Principles Matter

Singer's six principles are not just theoretical ideas. They are based on evidence from the field of effective altruism. Effective altruism is a movement that uses evidence and reason to determine how to do the most good with your money.

The research has shown that following these principles can make a real difference. For example, one study found that giving to the most effective charities can increase the impact of your donation by up to 10 times.

So if you want to make a real difference in the world, then you need to start by giving away money. And when you give, make sure to follow Singer's six principles. By ng so, you can be sure that your money is being used to make the greatest possible impact.

How to Get Started

The first step is to learn more about effective altruism. There are a number of resources available online, including the website of The Life You Can Save.

Once you have learned more about effective altruism, you can start to research different charities. There are a number of websites that can help you compare charities, such as GiveWell and Charity Navigator.

Once you have chosen a charity to support, you can start giving regularly. You can set up a recurring donation through your bank or credit card company. You can also give online or by mail.

No matter how much you give, you can make a difference. By following Singer's six principles, you can be sure that your money is being used to make the greatest possible impact.
