Date

Duration

Description
There is little public awareness of the fields of strategic philanthropy and effective altruism, which seek the most cost-effective ways to improve human wellbeing and preserve our collective future. Playmatics is bridging this gap through a highly accessible and engaging board game grounded in rigorous research on effective philanthropy. Board games can immerse people in complex and consequential systems, and are experiencing a revival that allows them to reach a broad and influential audience. The game will allow players to experience the dilemmas of philanthropy firsthand and apply this understanding to their careers, political action, and philanthropic giving.
