UPDATED 11/2023
Our recommended charities are highly reputable and remarkably effective. They have been rigorously evaluated and vetted by impact-focused charity evaluators — and those evaluators themselves have been investigated by our research team. We believe these charities represent some of the best opportunities to donate to, as they do substantially more good per dollar than average.
What we look for
(in a charity)
Extreme effectiveness
Charities that demonstrably maximise the good they do with each dollar donated.
Research based
Charities that operate evidence-backed programs or that experts estimate have very high expected impact.
Third-party evaluated
Charities that have been vetted by the research of industry-leading charity evaluators.
Who we look to
(for the best charities)
Trusted, transparent, third-party evaluators play a critical role in our recommendations. And we don’t just rely on any evaluator — we research which evaluators can best help donors maximise their impact.
