The Effective Institutions Project is a philanthropic advisory and research organization that invests in societal leadership to address global challenges
WHY IT MATTERS
Institutions exercise great power over our lives, both today and far into the future.
Yet on issues from COVID to climate change, our leaders too often misjudge risks, make choices based on political expediency, and fail to imagine wiser alternatives when it counts the most.
We need our institutions to do better.
Our lives may literally depend on it.
WHAT WE DO
We analyze how and in what ways institutions’ decisions
influence people’s lives.
We study how key institutions
currently make decisions.
We identify
interventions that might
cause those institutions to take actions that lead to better global outcomes.
We
connect interdisciplinary stakeholders
to facilitate the most promising interventions.
