I gave because charity is important and giving to good charities is important as well

I gave because... I'm an adult and I can do what I want.

Identifying and updating research priorities on a changing landscape is critically important and deserves dedicated expertise and investigation.

The Top Charities Fund supports the highest-priority funding needs among our top charities.

We find and recommend outstanding giving opportunities and publish our research to help donors give more effectively and with greater confidence.

All donations here support our Top Charities Fund. Donations to the Top Charities Fund are granted on a rolling basis to support cost-effective funding opportunities at our top charities. We use our latest research to grant the funds to the top charity (or charities) where we believe they’ll do the most good.

Top Charities Fund

Research

We search for the charities that save or improve lives the most per dollar.

Our goal is to produce the world's top research on where to give. Free, for everyone.

We recommend a small number of charities that do an incredible amount of good. 

If you would like to donate to our giving funds or individual top charities, please see our projects below. You can donate here or on the Unrestricted Fund page below to make an unrestricted gift to GiveWell to support the full spectrum of our grantmaking and underwrite our ability to continue doing what we do.

GiveWell

Music artists + streams = DONATIONS. How? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dw9rgHrD0m8&list=PLkX1GIXbtWien8DIJi9Bcq2ebTLh_xgHG&index=1

GiveWell is a nonprofit dedicated to finding outstanding giving opportunities and publishing the full details of their analysis to help donors decide where to give. Their staff spends thousands of hours each year reviewing academic evidence and researching different global health and development programs to identify the most cost-effective, evidence-backed ones. 

They don't focus solely on financials, such as assessing administrative or fundraising costs. Instead, they conduct in-depth research to determine how much good a given program accomplishes (in terms of lives saved, lives improved, etc.) per dollar spent. They currently recommend a short list of [top charities](https://tracking.cirrusinsight.com/c33ed044-507a-45aa-8fc5-0161a4df059b/givewell-org-charities-top-charities) that do an incredible amount of good, estimating these interventions can save a life for about $5,000 on average. The top charities are working to [increase demand for routine childhood vaccines](https://tracking.cirrusinsight.com/77d7a485-bc10-428c-8d98-f20a045a4d5f/givewell-org-charities-new-incentives), distribute [vitamin A supplements](https://tracking.cirrusinsight.com/77d7a485-bc10-428c-8d98-f20a045a4d5f/givewell-org-charities-helen-keller-international), and prevent malaria through [net distributions](https://tracking.cirrusinsight.com/77d7a485-bc10-428c-8d98-f20a045a4d5f/givewell-org-charities-amf) and [antimalarial medications](https://tracking.cirrusinsight.com/77d7a485-bc10-428c-8d98-f20a045a4d5f/givewell-org-charities-malaria-consortium).

Donations to the [Top Charities Fund](https://tracking.cirrusinsight.com/77d7a485-bc10-428c-8d98-f20a045a4d5f/givewell-org-top-charities-fund) are granted on a quarterly basis to support cost-effective funding opportunities at their four top charities. GiveWell does not take any portion of donations made to the Top Charities Fund. Their work is fully funded by donors who choose to provide unrestricted funding.

Charlie + Ben's Wedding Fundraiser for GiveWell

Millions of people suffer from terrible, but preventable diseases each year. In many cases, a relatively small amount of money, utilized effectively, can save lives.

GiveWell's Top Charities Fund focuses on these evidence-based, high-impact, and cost-effective opportunities to save and improve the lives of people living in low- and lower-middle-income countries.

Recent grant recipients include:
(1) Malaria Consortium, seasonal malaria chemoprevention program
(2) Helen Keller International, vitamin A supplementation programme
(3) New Incentives, program to promote routine vaccination in Nigeria
(4) Against Malaria Foundation, program to provide long-lasting insecticide-treated bed nets
