What works, and how we know

Questions donors ask

What is the most effective charity for vaccinations?

We don't pick a winner ourselves. The highest-rated charities here are New Incentives, based on what GiveWell and the Happier Lives Institute publish. Each charity page shows the figures, the source and how strong the evidence is.

Should I give to one charity or a fund?

Both are reasonable. A fund run by an evaluator lets them direct your gift to where they judge the need is greatest; giving to one charity lets you choose the program yourself.

Are these figures guaranteed?

No. They are evaluators' modeled estimates of the average. Real results can be higher or lower, and evaluators update them as they learn.
