Direct cash transfers are one of the most effective ways to eliminate extreme poverty, and giving people choice is empowering. I also respect their 12-year research on basic income through RCTs across 290 Kenyan villages.

Delivering unconditional cash directly to the world's poorest households via secure mobile transfers. 

Since 2009, GiveDirectly has delivered more than $580 million in unconditional cash transfers to families in need. These one-time cash transfers allow recipients to invest in what they need most and have been shown to improve their earnings, children’s school attendance, health, nutrition, and mental well-being.
 
GiveDirectly uses government data to target villages where most or all residents are living in extreme poverty, defined by the World Bank as earning under $2.15/day. In-country GiveDirectly staff enroll one member of each household in the entire village to receive a one-time transfer of about $1,000 USD sent in two installments using mobile money. Recipients can then withdraw the mobile funds as cash with local agents and use the funds to invest in what they need – whether it’s on starting a business, education, making their home safer/sturdier, healthcare, or livestock.
 
GiveDirectly uses rigorous experimental research (randomized controlled trials) to measure the impact of their unconditional cash programs and answer public policy questions, generating evidence on key design and implementation questions across varied contexts. You can find over 300 studies on the positive impacts of cash transfers in GiveDirectly’s Cash Research Explorer.

SCCA brings together the leading research teams and cancer specialists of Fred Hutch, Seattle Children's, and UW Medicine.

Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (SCCA) represents a union of patients and caregivers, physicians and researchers, care and cures in the pursuit of better, longer, richer lives for our patients.

Above all, we exist to move patients forward, past boundaries and toward hope, beyond fear and closer to discovery. SCCA is the intersection of compassion and hard science. Where a real difference can be made today and true progress happens tomorrow. This uniquely bold and inventive approach truly sets us apart.

We treat care differently. And because of that, we see patients differently too. Our care combines powerful science with devoted collaboration, where boundary-pushing discovery happens — care and science working together.

It is our fundamental belief that working in partnership with our patients is essential to who we are today and in the future.

Mary's Place believes that no one's child should sleep outside. We provide safe, inclusive shelter and services that support women, children, and families on their journey out of homelessness.

Since 1999, Mary’s Place has helped hundreds of women and families move out of homelessness into more stable situations. We provide safe, inclusive shelter and services that support women, children and families on their journey out of homelessness. Across nine emergency family shelters in King County, we keep struggling families together, inside, and safe when they have no place else to go, providing shelter, services, resources, community, and hope.  

Meals, showers, and laundry facilities–children are connected with schools. In the evening, families in shelter eat dinner, do homework, socialize, and prepare for the week ahead. Each day, Housing Specialists work with families to address barriers and empower parents to build family stability, secure housing, and prepare for employment. Kids do homework, participate in fun and enriching activities, and go on outings and adventures in Kids Club. 

Children with life threatening illnesses should not be living in cars and tents awaiting chemo or dialysis. Families who have lost everything in the struggle to get their child well have a place to receive care and support in shelter at Mary's Place Popsicle Place shelter program.

Still, capacity is limited and hundreds of families are outside each night in cars and tents. Mary’s Place Diversion program and team of mobile outreach specialists work with unsheltered families where they are, to address barriers and help move them quickly into stable housing, bypassing a shelter stay.

The women’s drop-in Day Center in downtown Seattle provides meals, showers, laundry, access to resources, safety and  relationship to over a hundred women each day.

The support of the community keeps our doors open. The path out of homelessness can be long and challenging. Each person that finds housing is ultimately responsible for his or her accomplishment, but often a community of support, education, and advocacy has helped along the way.

We are a non-profit that helps fight homelessness and hunger.

Sunrise Outreach Center (SOC) is a Yakima Vineyard outreach ministry purposed on partnering with the Holy Spirit to love and serve people struggling through the effects of poverty. Although we are a faith based organization, we operate entirely in the public interest, and neither require participation nor displace anyone for not participating with any church activity. Our approach is twofold; first, to provide basic needs (food, water and shelter); secondly, to employ prevention strategies targeted at interrupting the ongoing cycle of inter-generational poverty.
