About GiveWell
Based in Oakland, CA, GiveWell is a nonprofit that uses research to help donors decide where to donate their money for maximum impact. GiveWell prides itself on conducting in-depth research to determine how much good a program accomplishes per dollar spent and in turn recommends these high-impact giving opportunities to prospective donors.
More than 85,000 donors have trusted GiveWell to direct their donations, reflecting over $1 billion in contributions including cash grants of more than $150 million to the world’s most under-resourced people.
Our partnership and impact
With grant funding from Zoom, GiveWell was able to elevate its Maximum Impact Fund which has historically channeled resources to organizations including Evidence Action’s Deworm the World Initiative, Against Malaria Foundation, and Helen Keller International.
