GiveWell Updates
We’re hiring across GiveWell’s Operations team—with openings in Grants Administration, People Operations, Talent Acquisition, Technology, AI Enablement, and Executive Support. The deadline to apply is September 7.

A year ago, family planning was a new area for GiveWell—since then, we’ve made around $20 million in grants to family planning programs across commodity procurement, supply chain support, and service delivery.
In our latest podcast episode, GiveWell co-founder and CEO Elie Hassenfeld speaks with Senior Program Officer Dilhan Perera about our grants to the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) Supplies Partnership, MSI Reproductive Choices, and Lafiya, how the portfolio fits together, and what we’re hoping to learn about bottlenecks in family planning access.
Halfway through this year, we’ve already surpassed our 2025 grantmaking total, and we anticipate our total grantmaking is likely to approach, and potentially exceed, $1 billion this year. We’re excited to share that Coefficient Giving has increased its near-term funding commitment for GiveWell grants to $1 billion to support the continued scaling of our work.
Diarrhea kills more than 400,000 children under five every year. GiveWell recently made a grant to support WASHmobile in Eastern DRC and South Sudan—a water, sanitation, and hygiene program that aims to reach households at heightened risk of diarrheal disease.
In a recent podcast episode, GiveWell co-founder and CEO Elie Hassenfeld speaks with Senior Program Officer Erin Crossett about how the program works, why these locations are so challenging to work in, and what we hope to learn from this grant.
Thank you for flagging this! And a special thank you to Rory for fixing it so quickly. :)
