Identifying and updating research priorities on a changing landscape is critically important and deserves dedicated expertise and investigation.

While GiveWell's selection criteria are somewhat subjective, the objectivity by which they evaluate nonprofit bang for your buck is inspiring.

Instead of gifts, we are asking you to donate to one of our favorite charities.

GiveWell researches and recommends charities that focus on saving and improving lives, primarily in global health and poverty alleviation. Their top charities currently work on causes such as malaria prevention (through bed nets and seasonal malaria chemoprevention), vitamin A supplementation, direct cash transfers to people in extreme poverty, and deworming programs for children. Their recommendations are based on rigorous evidence and cost-effectiveness analysis.

Thank you!

We provide cash incentives for childhood vaccinations. It’s one of the most cost-effective ways known to save lives.


New Incentives’ mission is to save lives in a way that does the **most good per dollar**.
Guided by evidence, we provide cash incentives to increase childhood vaccination rates.

- We [raise awareness](https://www.newincentives.org/blog-posts/awareness-activities) about the benefits of childhood vaccinations.
- We [provide cash incentives](https://www.newincentives.org/blog-posts/a-day-in-the-life-abubakar-aliyu-field-officer) at government clinics after children receive vaccinations.
- We [help improve the vaccine supply chain](https://www.newincentives.org/blog-posts/supporting-government-partners-with-vaccine-supply-efforts) to ensure enough vaccines are available at clinics.

Together, these efforts are proven to double vaccination rates and save lives.

Helen Keller, our co-founder, envisioned a world without barriers to human potential. We are continuing her work.


Helen Keller, our co-founder, envisioned a world without barriers to human potential. Guided by her fierce optimism, we have been working on the front lines of health and well-being for more than 100 years. We deliver life-changing health care to vulnerable families in places where the need is great, but access is limited. Our proven, science-based programs empower people to create opportunities in their own lives.

Prevention, control and treatment of malaria and other communicable diseases among vulnerable populations.

Malaria Consortium US, Inc. (MC-US) is a registered 501(c)(3) public charity and shares the mission of Malaria Consortium, a globally recognized organization committed to reducing deaths and illnesses caused by malaria and other preventable and treatable diseases across Africa and Asia.

Our mission is to save lives and improve health in Africa and Asia through evidence-based programs that tackle malaria and other priority diseases while advancing universal health coverage (UHC). In the US, we build partnerships with foundations, donors, and philanthropic organizations to ensure that every contribution makes a lasting impact for those most in need.

As a leader in malaria control and elimination, our work focuses on interventions such as seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC), malaria vaccines, disease surveillance, and integrated child health services. We work in collaboration with governments, communities, and health systems to improve access to essential healthcare and strengthen delivery of services in underserved and hard-to-reach areas.

As a leader in interventions such as chemoprevention and vector control, we rely on evidence and our expertise to deliver established interventions, influence other effective interventions and guide new strategies to reduce the burden of malaria, pneumonia, dengue, malnutrition and diarrhea. We work with communities and all levels of the health system to improve access to and demand for primary healthcare services and overall quality of care.

Our tailored interventions seek to improve equity by providing quality, affordable health services to marginalized populations (particularly women and girls and those living in hard-to-reach areas). To ensure barriers to achieving UHC are addressed and to encourage sustainability, we work closely with governments to integrate our programs within existing health systems and structures in the countries in which we work.

We promote disease surveillance as a core intervention to engage communities to improve the quality and accessibility of routine health information by using digital tools and approaches that strengthen the linkages between case-level data and national health information systems. We combine capacity development at community level with the use of innovative tools and platforms to enhance local capabilities to interpret and use these data most effectively.

All of our work is informed by our core values: accountability, integrity, dignity and equity.

Malaria Consortium

One of GiveWell's top charities for the past several years, AMF provides anti-malarial bednets to people in need. 

From Givewell: 
What do they do? AMF (againstmalaria.com) provides funding for long-lasting insecticide-treated net (LLIN) distributions (for protection against malaria) in developing countries. (More)

Does it work? There is strong evidence that distributing LLINs reduces child mortality and malaria cases. AMF conducts post-distribution surveys of completed distributions to determine whether LLINs have reached their intended destinations and how long they remain in good condition. AMF's post-distribution surveys have generally found positive results but have some methodological limitations. (More)

What do you get for your dollar? We estimate that the cost to purchase and distribute an AMF-funded net is $4.95, or $4.65 excluding in-kind contributions from governments. The numbers of deaths averted and other benefits of distributing LLINs are a function of a number of difficult-to-estimate factors, which we discuss in detail below. (More)

Is there room for more funding? We believe that AMF is likely to be constrained by funding. We estimate that AMF could use up to an additional $37.8 million to support LLIN distributions that will occur between now and late 2023. 

AMF is recommended because of its:

Focus on a program with excellent evidence of effectiveness and cost-effectiveness.
Processes for ensuring that nets reach their intended recipients and monitoring whether they remain in homes and in good condition over the long-term.
Room for more funding – we believe AMF will be able to use additional funds to deliver additional nets.
Transparency – AMF shares significant information about its work with us and we are able to closely follow and understand its work.

Ex-cofounder and Head of Engineering at Every.org. I work so others can receive the level of support I've personally benefited from.

**Greta & Hudson Wedding Fundraiser**
Helping strangers across the world is core to Hudson's values. In light of recent cuts to USAID, our donations supporting global health are more necessary than ever. Hudson asks that in lieu of a wedding gift, you join him in contributing to the GiveWell Top Charities Fund and that you consider becoming an annual donor.


GiveWell is a nonprofit searching for the charities that save or improve lives the most per dollar. They're dedicated to finding outstanding giving opportunities and publishing the full details of their analysis to help donors decide where to give. Their staff spends thousands of hours each year reviewing academic evidence and researching different global health and development programs to identify the most cost-effective, evidence-backed ones. 


GiveWell currently recommends a short list of [top charities](https://tracking.cirrusinsight.com/c33ed044-507a-45aa-8fc5-0161a4df059b/givewell-org-charities-top-charities) that do an incredible amount of good, estimating these interventions can save a life for about $5,000 on average. The top charities are working to prevent malaria through [net distributions](https://tracking.cirrusinsight.com/77d7a485-bc10-428c-8d98-f20a045a4d5f/givewell-org-charities-amf) and [antimalarial medications](https://tracking.cirrusinsight.com/77d7a485-bc10-428c-8d98-f20a045a4d5f/givewell-org-charities-malaria-consortium), [increase demand for routine childhood vaccines](https://tracking.cirrusinsight.com/77d7a485-bc10-428c-8d98-f20a045a4d5f/givewell-org-charities-new-incentives), and distribute [vitamin A supplements](https://tracking.cirrusinsight.com/77d7a485-bc10-428c-8d98-f20a045a4d5f/givewell-org-charities-helen-keller-international).


Donations to the [Top Charities Fund](https://tracking.cirrusinsight.com/77d7a485-bc10-428c-8d98-f20a045a4d5f/givewell-org-top-charities-fund) are granted on a quarterly basis to support cost-effective funding opportunities at their four top charities. GiveWell does not take any portion of donations made to the Top Charities Fund. Their work is fully funded by donors who choose to provide unrestricted funding. The Top Charities Fund is valuable for those, like Hudson, who recognize that all charities are not the same but who do not have the time to read the latest randomized controlled trials or audit impact data from hundreds of charities before making annual donations.
