To find impactful organizations, consider pressing problems, identify top organizations addressing those problems, and evaluate a pressing need for your skills.

Instead, learn about big, neglected social problems through work, study, and conversations with experts to understand real-world needs. Getting involved in an area allows spotting unique ideas and building necessary connections for successful execution.
