GiveWell

GiveWell is a nonprofit that researches global health and development programs to find the most cost-effective ways to save and improve lives. It publishes its research openly and directs donations to the programs it judges will do the most good, rather than reviewing as many charities as possible. Its Giving Funds include the All Grants Fund, the Top Charities Fund and an Unrestricted Fund that covers its own operations.

GiveWell is funded entirely by donors who choose to support it and takes no fees, so every donation other than standard bank and card fees goes to the fund or organization the donor picks. Donors are based mainly in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Germany and Canada. The organization is located on Franklin Street in Oakland, California, and questions about donating, research or media go to separate email addresses listed on its contact page.
