Smart Giving, Simplified
We make “smart giving simple” by curating a group of nonprofits that save or improve the most lives per dollar. We aim to create a world where everyone has an opportunity to build a better life and where there’s no suffering or death due to extreme poverty.
How to Donate to Fight Climate Change (Effectively)
Climate change impacts everyone everywhere, but it hits those in extreme poverty the hardest. That’s why we’ve just launched new climate change charity recommendations. And because the effects of climate change are globally distributed and the primary contributors to climate change are more affluent nations, we have elected to seek out and support effective charities committed to fighting climate change no matter where they operate.

You Don't Have to be Brave to Save Lives
Our Co-Founder, Charlie Bresler, explains how one does not have to be brave—even during the COVID-19 pandemic—to save lives. You can save these lives, in a cost-effective way, through our recommended nonprofits. And amazingly, you can do so while social distancing and staying home!
