Common Questions

Will my donation be tax-deductible?

GiveWell (a.k.a. The Clear Fund) is a federally-recognized tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization. US donors are able to take tax deductions for donations to GiveWell to the extent permitted by US tax laws. In addition, GiveWell is able to make grants to our recommended charities.

When does GiveWell grant funds it has collected to charities?

We currently plan to make grants to charities approximately quarterly. We may alter this schedule in the future.

Why does GiveWell collect donations on behalf of its recommended charities?

(1) It allows us to track our own impact on donations, (2) it gives us a chance to ask you if you'd like to receive updates on GiveWell's research, and (3) when we grant the funds to the charity, we can designate them as we believe is best.

Can I send an acknowledgement to a friend or family member?

There are two options: (1) Use the option on this form to provide an email address for the honoree. We will send them an email letting them know about the gift. (2) Download and use our acknowledgement letter templates.
