Having done the research already, we make it easy for our donors to support charities that are proven to be highly impactful. With mission-aligned celebrity narrators and by giving away the audiobook and e-book for free (in addition to having it available for purchase through traditional e-commerce and retailers), the 10th-anniversary edition of The Life You Can Save aims to inform, inspire and empower as many people as possible to act now and save lives. At The Life You Can Save, we make smart giving simple by recommending charities that save lives and improve well-being where each dollar goes the furthest. To address the continuing need, and to build on the success of the first edition, Singer acquired the book rights and updated the content to be current and even more relevant. However, millions still live on less than $1.90 a day, and there is yet much to be done.

Together, the book and organization have helped raise millions of dollars for effective charities, supporting work protecting people from diseases, restoring sight, avoiding unwanted pregnancies, ensuring that children get the nutrients they need, and providing opportunities to not only survive but thrive.
