EA Netherlands builds a community of and for effective altruists in the Netherlands by seeding and supporting local groups, running educational programs, and providing infrastructure for those working on high-impact careers and projects. The organization serves roughly 750 actively involved community members across approximately 16 local groups, and organizes EAGxAmsterdam, one of the largest regional EA conferences globally. Their work spans introductory courses for newcomers, mentorship and knowledge-sharing for community organizers, and co-working spaces for researchers and practitioners. The Netherlands is the fourth-largest national EA community globally, with Amsterdam as one of the largest EA hub cities outside the UK and US.

Theory of Change
EA Netherlands aims to increase the number of highly-engaged effective altruists (HEAs) in the Netherlands — people who are motivated by impartial concern for others, think carefully about how to help most effectively, and take significant actions through their careers, donations, or EA-related work. The organization targets three groups in sequence: it reaches proto-EAs through introductory courses, events, and media to grow community involvement; it supports organizers with mentorship and infrastructure to multiply their community-building capacity; and it provides co-working spaces and retreats for researchers and practitioners who are already doing EA-relevant work. The causal chain is that a larger, more capable Dutch EA community produces more talent directed at pressing global problems, more high-impact career decisions, and more effective charitable giving — thereby contributing to reduced existential risk and improved AI safety outcomes as community members enter relevant research, policy, and technical roles.
