GWWC Operational Funding Match 2023

Link post

We are excited to announce a match for donations made towards our operations at Giving What We Can!

Starting December 1st, every dollar donated towards GWWC’s operations will be matched 1:1 up to US$200,000 until the match has been exhausted, or until January 31st 2024, whichever comes first*.

We believe that GWWC is a great funding opportunity for those who believe in effective giving. Our most recent Impact Evaluation suggests that from 2020 to 2022:

  • GWWC generated an additional $62 million in value for highly-effective charities.

  • GWWC had a giving multiplier of 30x, meaning that for each $1 spent on our operations, we generated $30 of value to highly-effective charities on average. Please note that this isn’t a claim that your additional dollar will have a 30x multiplier, even though we think it will still add a lot of value. Read more on how to interpret our results.

  • Each new GWWC Pledge generates >$20,000 of value for highly-effective charities that would not have happened without GWWC.

Reaching our US$200K goal will fully unlock the matching funds, and with US$400K we will be close to filling our baseline funding for 2024, allowing us to revamp the How Rich Am I? Calculator, continue evaluating evaluators, launch in new markets, improve the donation platform including likely reworking the checkout flow and much more.

We strongly recommend you read our case for funding to learn more about our plans, our impact and what your donation could help us achieve.

This is a true conditional match: we will only receive from the match funder the equivalent amount to what we can raise from other donors during this period.

Thank you to Meta Charity Funders for generously providing funding for this match.
