GiveWell is a non-profit organization based in Oakland, CA that conducts extensive research to identify the most effective charities in terms of saving and improving lives per dollar donated. With over 50,000 hours of research each year, GiveWell evaluates hundreds of charities and selects only a few that meet their high standards for funding. They take zero fees and rely on donor support to fund their operations, ensuring that 100% of donations (minus standard bank and credit card fees) go directly to the chosen fund or organization.
GiveWell offers different donation options, including the Top Charities Fund, which supports the most reliable and high-impact charities identified by their research, and the All Grants Fund, which grants donations to the highest-impact programs in global health and well-being. Donors can also choose to donate directly to specific top charities. GiveWell's rigorous research process involves gathering independent evidence, modeling cost-effectiveness, conducting interviews and site visits, reviewing budgets, and requesting program data from potential grantees.
