Sam & Michael's Wedding Fundraiser

Rather than receiving gifts to celebrate our wedding, we ask that you consider donating to GiveDirectly. GiveDirectly is a nonprofit organization that provides cash directly to people living in severe poverty. Research has shown that providing cash to these households allows them to effectively and efficiently use the funds to best improve their lives and living conditions. For example, recipients have used the funds on everything from medicine, livestock, school fees for the children, and to start their own businesses. Not only does this approach provide the recipients with valuable resources, it enables the recipient, not aid organizations and donors, to decide what would be most beneficial for them.
