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 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 and antimalarial medications, increase demand for routine childhood vaccines, and distribute vitamin A supplements.
Donations to the 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.
