The All Grants Fund seeks to improve global health and well-being by supporting the full range of GiveWell’s grantmaking to high-impact opportunities, including at organisations outside of its top charities.
Support a variety of charitable projects and funds -- all in one place
These charities and funds are our top picks. They are recommended by impact-focused evaluators our research team has vetted, and present exceptional opportunities for impact.
Giving What We Can funds are a convenient option for donors who want to set up a single donation to support work in a cause area and don’t want to choose between our top-rated funds. All donations to this fund will be pooled and then allocated to particularly impactful giving opportunities within the fund’s cause area, based on our latest research. (Or choose the All Causes Bundle if you want to support all the high-impact causes we currently recommend.)
Can’t decide? This bundle allows you to split your donation across all three of our GWWC-managed cause area funds.
Our donation platform also supports a number of other programmes that broadly align with our principles — in other words, all of these programmes are working on a pressing problem and taking a reasonably promising approach (based on their stated missions and programme descriptions). We’ve roughly ordered these based on our research team’s preliminary impression of which might be most interesting to impact-focused donors, taking into account factors like if we’ve previously recommended them or if they are currently recommended by an impact-focused evaluator. We encourage donors to read more about these giving options before deciding to support them.
These programmes reduce hunger, poverty, and disease, and promote economic empowerment, education, and mental and physical wellbeing across the globe.
These programmes improve animal lives, reduce extreme suffering, and promote a sustainable and just food system through policy, research, and advocacy.
These programmes leverage research and policy to help safeguard the future from large-scale risks related to AI, nuclear security, and natural or engineered pandemics.
These programmes focus on mitigating the worst effects of climate change by promoting clean, scalable, and equitable solutions.
These programmes focus on outreach, capacity building, fundraising, charity incubation, and evaluation related to effective giving, effective altruism, and promoting high-impact philanthropy.
Co-founded in 2009 by moral philosophers Toby Ord and William MacAskill, Giving What We Can is a global community of effective givers and a resource hub for people who want to help. We curate a carefully vetted list of charity recommendations, offer resources and guides so you can make a bigger difference on the problems you care about, and work to change the norms around charitable giving to inspire people to give more, and more effectively.
We believe the scale of global income inequality is so vast that most people living in high-income countries have significant power to affect the lives of others. (See where you stack up here.) To that end, we also help people support high-impact charitable programmes and projects via our donation platform and invite you to join the 10,177 people who have taken a giving pledge.
Donors who plan to make substantial donations can benefit from working with a philanthropic advisor. Please reach out to us and we’ll connect you with an appropriate person or organisation.
