Some charities are much more effective than others. Effective giving means using evidence and careful reasoning to help as much as possible with each donation.

What is effective giving?

High-impact donations based on the best research

Not all donations are equal. Some charities help far more than others with the same money. Independent evaluators like GiveWell analyse the evidence and identify where donations do the most good, so donors can give with confidence.

Some charities help far more than others

Research consistently shows that the most effective charities can deliver dramatically more benefit per donation than the average. The difference can be a hundredfold or more.

Evidence helps identify where donations do the most good

Careful analysis, looking at real-world outcomes, cost-effectiveness, and independent research, can guide donors toward opportunities that genuinely change lives.

Effective giving maximises the good each donation does

By combining generous instincts with rigorous thinking, donors can multiply the real-world impact of their giving, helping more people, more effectively, with the same amount.
