Executive summary: Giving What We Can (GWWC) evaluated five organizations focused on charity evaluation and grantmaking, assessing their processes and making recommendations on which to rely on for donations.
Key points:
GWWC will continue relying on GiveWell for global health recommendations and ask them to advise a new GWWC fund. GiveWell’s processes are strong, though judgement plays a role in comparisons and some analyses.
The evaluation of Happier Lives Institute was stopped as the costs were deemed to outweigh the benefits.
The EA Funds’ Animal Welfare Fund is recommended as a top fund option based on grant quality and room for more funding.
Animal Charity Evaluators is not recommended for charity recommendations currently. One program by The Humane League is recommended based on multiple sources.
The EA Funds’ Long-Term Future Fund and the Longview Philanthropy Longtermism Fund are both recommended top funds for reducing global catastrophic risks, with GWWC allocating to both. Each fund has some areas for improvement.
