Before you give · read this

Payments are received by Empire Palace Group Inc., a Delaware for-profit corporation that operates Altruism Lab. They are not tax-deductible charitable donations. Support funds research and operations; it does not guarantee any outcome, and verified impact to date is zero. Questions first? Contact the Lab.

1. Where would you like it to go?

A non-binding preference. It guides how the Lab reports and prioritizes, but funds are not earmarked or restricted.

2. Choose an amount

Financial support is separate from the free Altruism Coalition. Payment is never required to apply and gives no selection advantage.

What support would move forward

Proposed research steps, each with a deliverable and an evidence gate. No amount is tied to a specific output, and nothing here is a funded or staffed project.

  1. 01
    Ending poverty

    Turn the white paper into testable assumptions

    Deliverable. A public list of the proposal’s assumptions, each paired with the evidence that would confirm or refute it.

    Evidence gate. Published before any feasibility claim is made.

    Proposed
  2. 02
    Ending poverty

    Feasibility review: funding, inflation, fraud, administration

    Deliverable. A written analysis of the open questions, inviting outside critique from economists and benefits specialists.

    Evidence gate. No pilot design proceeds unless this review finds a credible path.

    Proposed
  3. 03
    Ending factory farming

    Baseline method for institutional menus

    Deliverable. A measurement protocol for plant-forward shifts, built on the published measurement framework.

    Evidence gate. A baseline is required before any change is reported.

    In development
  4. 04
    Both missions

    Bounded pilot design with a willing institution

    Deliverable. A written scope with success and stop conditions, agreed before work begins.

    Evidence gate. Results enter the Impact Ledger only with a source.

    Proposed
For foundations, businesses & philanthropists

Underwrite a defined piece of research.

Sponsorship discussions and commissioned research inquiries. Scope, independence, and publication terms are agreed in writing before any work begins.

Funding never purchases conclusions. Sponsors are disclosed, findings are published whether favorable or not, and conflicts of interest are declared.

Future charitable giving

Not currently available.

Altruism Lab does not currently offer a tax-deductible giving path. If a qualified fiscal sponsor or separate tax-exempt entity accepts support for this work in future, that option will be clearly identified and administered separately.
