Effective Altruism

Firstly there's a difference between an idea called Effective Altruism which most notably has aspirations to be effective altruism, and effective altruism itself. 
Effective Altruism is a philosophy and social movement that uses evidence and reasoning to determine the most effective ways to benefit others.[1] Effective altruism encourages individuals to consider all causes and actions and to act in the way that brings about the greatest positive impact, based upon their values.[2] It is the broad, evidence-based approach that distinguishes effective altruism from traditional altruism or charity.[3]
While a substantial proportion of effective altruists have focused on the nonprofit sector, the philosophy of effective altruism applies more broadly to prioritizing the scientific projects, companies, and policy initiatives which can be estimated to save lives, help people, or otherwise have the biggest benefit.[4]
