Centre for Effective Altruism

CEA published an updated strategy for stewardship of EA, focusing in 2025 and 2026 on growing the EA community, improving the EA brand, and diversifying EA funding. Read the full strategy here.

Faunalytics

Faunalytics released a new study, The Economic Impacts Of A Plant-Based Transition: Exploring Two Growth Scenarios. A transition toward a more plant-based food system is often highlighted for its environmental and public health benefits, but what about its economic impact? Their latest study, in collaboration with economists at BW Research Partnership, finds that increasing the production and consumption of plant-based foods could boost the U.S. economy.

Additionally, Faunalytics has updated their Research Library with articles on a variety of animal advocacy topics including Automated Pain Detection In Farmed Animals: Promises And Problems. The organization also added two blog posts in celebration of their 25th anniversary last month: 25 Years Of Effective Animal Advocacy and 25 Years, 10 Lessons: Insights From Faunalytics’ Founder Che Green.

Fish Welfare Initiative

Fish Welfare Initiative recently published a post announcing their new farm programme dashboard, as well as their revised monitoring and evaluation plan.

Givewell

GiveWell recently launched a webpage that provides an overview of how it is responding to recent cuts to US government foreign assistance, summaries of grants it has made, and information on how donors can help.

GiveWell has also started recording a series of conversations with its research team that share timely snapshots of the rapidly evolving global health aid situation. The first episode (released on March 19, 2025) provides a broad overview of the impacts of US government aid cuts and GiveWell’s initial response. The second episode (released on April 3, 2025) zooms in on a specific case, focusing on grants GiveWell has made to support urgent funding gaps for seasonal malaria chemoprevention. Listen to the latest episodes and subscribe here.

Since 2017, GiveWell has made approximately $29 million in grants to iron fortification and supplementation programmes. GiveWell’s cross-cutting research team recently engaged in a “red-teaming” exercise to identify potential flaws in their iron research before considering $10 million to $20 million in additional grants for 2025.

Happier Lives Institute

The first global comparison finds some charities are 100x, even 1,000x, better than others.
The Happier Lives Institute recently contributed a chapter to the World Happiness Report 2025. This is the first global analysis of how much happiness different charities produce per dollar (featured in Vox).

HLI’s review found charity cost-effectiveness varies enormously. The best charities (which tackle issues like lead poisoning, malnutrition, and depression in low-income countries) were around 1,000 times more impactful than the least-good ones, and around 150 times better than the average UK charity assessed.

It was able to compare across different interventions because the charities were assessed in Wellbeing-Years – WELLBYs – a standardised metric for assessing both charities and policies, endorsed by the UK Treasury.

Michael Plant, HLI Director, said:
“This is a milestone in our understanding of how to make people’s lives better. There was no wellbeing cost-effectiveness research six years ago, when we started. Now there are multiple teams working on this, and we have global comparisons with major implications. We hope this is a wake-up call to donors and policymakers that they can and should take happiness seriously – and to researchers to carry the work forward.”

Check out this recent podcast where Dr. Plant discusses the chapter with Peter Singer and Kasia de Lazari-Radek.

You can donate to HLI’s top recommended charities, or directly to research, here. HLI is now also offering consultancy: tailored research for maximum impact.

The Humane League

Last month, THL launched its fifth annual Eggsposé, evaluating major food corporations on their progress toward transitioning to 100% cage-free. Focused on restaurants and convenience stores in the US, THL is leveraging the report to pressure companies to report progress on their cage-free commitments during the most pivotal year yet in the global shift to cage-free. As a result, seven major companies including Golden Corral, BJ’s Restaurants, and the Campbell’s Company have reported on their commitments to spare more than 1,000,000 hens from cages, and based on their progress, THL estimates they spared over 500,000 hens this year.

Globally, 18 major companies reported on their commitments to spare more than 11,600,000 hens from cages annually. THL estimates these companies have spared over 800,000 hens from suffering this year.
