Where to Donate
We offer donors multiple options to make giving as simple and impactful as possible:
-
Contribute to one of our Cause Funds: Pool your donation with others to maximise impact. Our research team allocates funds to the most effective opportunities across our recommended charities.
-
Support a specific charity: Choose to give directly to one or more of our recommended charities — each one is carefully selected through our rigorous evaluation framework to ensure your donation supports highly effective, evidence-backed interventions with maximum impact.
-
Get a personalised giving plan: Our advisors can help tailor your giving to align with your goals and values. Whether you take a data-driven approach or are guided by more personal motivations, we’re here to make your giving both meaningful and impactful.
Maximize Your Impact Fund
The Maximize Your Impact Fund is our recommended option for donors because it leverages the power of all of our research and evaluations, so your gift will have the highest impact with a defined strategy against multiple characteristics of extreme poverty. All the causes we address in our other funds, including education, health, living standards, and barriers to women and girls’ well-being, are funded within the Maximize Your Impact Fund. Managed by our team, the Maximize Your Impact Fund supports charities and interventions with a demonstrated impact.
Cause Funds
If there is a specific theme within extreme poverty you feel drawn to respond to, we recommend giving to a cause fund.
The themes supported in our cause funds are also represented in the Maximize Your Impact Fund.

Rapid Response Fund
Recent funding cuts are disrupting essential services in some of the world’s most fragile regions. Life-saving interventions are being scaled back or halted altogether, putting millions of lives at risk. Strategic action is urgently needed to fill critical gaps and ensure high-impact organizations’ critical programs continue.
Support our Operations
We never charge donors fees because we independently raise funds to support our operations. Our tools and services are—and always will be—completely free, ensuring that more people can give effectively to high-impact charities.
From 2021-2023, our 3-year leverage ratio was 11:1. This means that for every $1 we invested in spreading our message and helping people discover effective charities, we raised $11 for our recommended charities.
A gift to us is an opportunity to amplify your impact and is as simple as allocating a percent in the donation process, or donating below.
