New fundraising pages!
We have just launched our brand new fundraising pages. If you’d like to fundraise for effective charities this Giving Season, you can fill out our form. Also you might like to keep an eye out for fundraising pages from people in the community and support or share their fundraisers! Our Head of Marketing, Grace created the first fundraising page on our website, check it out and donate!
GiveWell has set a goal of raising $600 million in 2022, but its research team has identified $900 million in highly cost-effective funding gaps, meaning $300 million of those funding gaps will remain unfilled without additional support. By donating between now and the end of the year, you can help GiveWell not only meet but exceed its goal—and say yes to more excellent opportunities to save and improve lives.
GiveWell’s top recommendation for donors this year is its All Grants Fund, which is allocated to any funding need that meets its cost-effectiveness bar. This is the best option for donors who want to support the most promising opportunities GiveWell has found to help people, regardless of program or location. See here for examples of grants that could be funded by donations to the All Grants Fund.
