How does YEA spend its money?

We get our money from Yale and CEA as a club dedicated to informing others about the effective altruism movement. Our money goes straight into funding the various programs we host, from providing foods and snacks at socials to providing transportation for retreats or the winter bootcamp.

How is YEA doing good?

A large part of YEA are the semester-long fellowships, helping fellows understand if effective altruism is a good fit for their future career plans, and how to help others. We also build a strong and welcoming community to ensure everyone has a positive experience with EA. For a closer look at all that we do behind the scenes, check out our meeting minutes document.
