Sentient Impact empowers global talent to effectively reduce global suffering.

Sentient Impact is a new organization dedicated to reducing global suffering. We run programs across multiple cause areas with the aim of empowering advocates to improve the lives of sentient beings.

Our goal is to build talent and foster innovation across organizations, groups, and individuals working to improve the welfare of sentient beings globally. We aim to to identify and implement cost-effective interventions to improve wellbeing at scale.

Our programs give advocates the tools they need to help build the best possible future.

Sentient Impact runs free, facilitator-led online fellowships to train global talent and researchers, incubate impactful projects and tools, and ultimately drive change across society to build the best possible future: a kinder, high-welfare future for all that feel.
