Executive summary: GiveWell directs substantial funding and research effort to opportunities beyond its top charities, aiming to find and fund the most cost-effective global health and development programs.
Key points:
In 2022, 71% of GiveWell’s directed funds went to its four top charities, while 29% went to about 40 other grantees.
GiveWell dedicates more research capacity to non-top charities because there are more of them and they require more effort to investigate.
Funding opportunities beyond top charities allows GiveWell to support highly cost-effective programs that don’t meet top charity criteria.
Types of opportunities funded include: newer interventions, incubating new programs, high expected value programs with more uncertainty, organizational strengthening, one-off opportunities, government partnerships, and funding to learn more about programs.
GiveWell’s All Grants Fund supports the full range of its grantmaking.
