Help us celebrate our wedding by giving money directly to people who need it the most. By giving cash directly, we can empower people living on less than $2.15 per day to determine how best to spend the donation to meet their individual needs.

This cause means so much to Logan and I because it is one of the most effective and proven ways to help those in need. With the amount of wealth in the world today, it's astounding that people still have to live on $2.15 per day or less. We are both lucky to have had many opportunities available to us throughout our lives. We'd like to take this special moment of celebrating our wedding to consider others who have experienced immense hardship instead of such opportunities. We believe that via GiveDirectly, small acts of generosity can enable someone to improve their life and the lives of others in their community immensely.

Logan & Nova's Wedding Fundraiser: Give Directly

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.
