Come gather for an evening of candles, cocktails, and community. We’ll light Hanukkah candles, sip a custom Hannukah-themed drink menu, and raise funds for GiveDirectly’s work providing direct support to families in extreme poverty. Celebrate the season by spreading warmth, connection, and tangible help to people across the globe.

Any donation (suggested $8-36) gets you a ticket for unlimited drinks, and all the fundraising money goes directly to GiveDirectly's incredible work: www.givedirectly.org

GiveDirectly sends money directly to the world’s poorest people, no strings attached. Hundreds of academic studies show cash transfers can boost income, health, education, gender equity, local economic activity, and more. In the last decade, they’ve reached over 1.6 million people in poverty across 14 countries, largely via simple banking technology called mobile money.

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

Since 2009, GiveDirectly has delivered more than $1 billion in unconditional cash transfers directly into the hands of 2+ million people living in poverty. 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 $3/day. In-country GiveDirectly staff enroll each household in a village to receive a large lump sum transfer of \~$1,000 USD using mobile money. Recipients can then use the funds to invest in what they need – whether it’s on starting a business, education, repairing their home, healthcare, livestock, or anything else.
 
GiveDirectly also uses rigorous experimental research (including randomized controlled trials) to measure the impact of their cash programs, answer public policy questions, and generate evidence on key design and implementation questions.
