GiveWell-Recommended Charities

GiveWell is a nonprofit dedicated to finding outstanding giving opportunities and publishing its full analysis to help donors decide where to give. Open Philanthropy was originally incubated as part of GiveWell. GiveWell’s recommended charities represent the best opportunities we’re aware of to help low-income people with relatively high confidence and relatively short time horizons. These charities implement programs that avert deaths and reduce poverty. You can learn more about GiveWell’s top charities and standout charities.

GiveWell-Recommended Charities is one of four thematic areas within Global Health & Development.
