Effective altruism is about answering one simple question: how can we use our resources to help others the most?
Rather than just doing what feels right, we use evidence and careful analysis to find the very best causes to work on.
But it's no use answering the question unless you act on it. Effective altruism is about following through. It's about being generous with your time and your money to do the most good you can.

EA KC is a Kansas City community for everyone interested in Effective Altruism. We meet around the metro to talk philosophy and ethics, dig into EA-related cause areas, and enjoy each others' company. We also maintain an active Discord group and have several smaller optional events, such as our book club.

You found one. Our meetups range from casual dinner-table debates to structured discussions of ethics, rationality, and how to actually improve the world. No philosophy background needed. Bring curiosity and we'll supply the reading list. Check the calendar for our next event.
