For donors who want to contribute to the full range of GiveWell’s grantmaking, we recommend the All Grants Fund. Donations to the All Grants Fund may be allocated to any grant that meets our cost-effectiveness bar, including funding opportunities outside our top charities.
This fund makes grants on a rolling basis, and is a good fit for donors who are open to multiple pathways to impact, including ones that are higher-risk.

Fundraisers
Eden and Don’s Marriage Party Charities
Instead of a wedding registry, we would very much welcome donations that support the following charities. We chose them to balance two things we care about: doing the most good possible for people we will never meet, and taking care of the neighbors in the two cities we call home. GiveWell – GiveWell researches which charities save and improve the most lives per dollar, then directs donations to those programs, like malaria prevention and childhood nutrition, with no fees taken out. It is our pick for maximizing impact anywhere in the world. SOME (So Others Might Eat) – For more than 50 years, SOME has served Washington, DC's most vulnerable residents with hot meals, healthcare, affordable housing, and job training, helping people move from crisis to stability. PATH (People Assisting The Homeless) – PATH helps people across Los Angeles and California move from the streets into permanent homes, pairing housing with the outreach and supportive services that keep people housed for good. Thank you for celebrating with us, and for helping us start our marriage by giving back.

DonateFundraiser by Jack Palen
Jack & Kathleen's GiveWell Wedding Fundraiser
Thank you so much for celebrating our special day with us! We're forgoing a registry, but would instead like to direct that generosity toward making an impact through charitable contributions. Our charity of choice is GiveWell , a nonprofit that is dedicated to saving and improving as many lives as they can. Jack first learned about GiveWell a decade ago, and resonated with their academic evidence-backed approach to identifying the most cost-effective giving opportunities: malaria prevention, vitamin A supplementation, tuberculosis management, amongst many others. We have been giving every year since. You can learn more about GiveWell here: https://www.givewell.org/about
And better understand their impact here: https://www.givewell.org/about/impact Of course- there are no expectations from us. Obviously we are all trying to improve the world the best we can; Jack and Kathleen will take no offense should you prefer to direct your charitable efforts elsewhere :)
