Mission and programs · 2023
Mission
The Life You Can Save's mission is to improve the lives of people living in poverty by changing the way people think about, and donate to charity. Our vision is to live in a world where there is no global poverty.
-
RASING FUNDS FOR EFFECTIVE CHARITIES: In 2023, we directly processed US $6.3M for our recommended charities as agency funds. In addition to donations directly processed by our organisation, we inspired donors to give large amounts either directly to our recommended charities themselves or through other mission aligned organisations. Globally weestimate that we either directly raised or inspired US $16.9M in donations to effective charities (Our "Total Money Moved" Metric).
Expenses $6,535,412 · Grants $6,299,239 · Revenue $6,299,230
-
PROMOTING THE IDEA OF EFFECTIVE GIVING: In addition to generating support for our recommended charities, we work to popularize the idea of effective giving and inspire more people to make smart donations with our free informational tools and resources - most importantly, our founder Peter Singer's book "The Life You Can Save". In 2023, we distributed 26,000 copies of the life you can save in complete and abridged formats including a celebrity-read audiobook and a podcast - all for free wherever possible.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
