Note: This grant was awarded while the Open Philanthropy Project was a partnership between GiveWell and Good Ventures.

Good Ventures, with input from GiveWell, granted $200,000 to Charity Science: Health as one of GiveWell’s Incubation Grants to support the creation of future top charities. This grant will go towards supporting the first year of Charity Science: Health’s work setting up a charity to send SMS immunization reminders in India.

Charity Science: Health was created by members of the effective altruism community with the goal of creating a potential future GiveWell top charity. GiveWell is impressed by the Charity Science: Health team’s track record of transparency, and is confident that they will communicate well, and that it will be easy for GiveWell to learn from their work.
