All Grants Fund

All Grants Fund

Donate to the full range of GiveWell’s grantmaking in global health and well-being

Last updated: October 2023

The All Grants Fund, which makes grants on a rolling basis, allows donors to contribute to the most impactful grant opportunities we've identified, regardless of program or location. We recommend the All Grants Fund to donors who wish to support a wide range of grantmaking, including funding opportunities more uncertain or riskier than our Top Charities. For donors who would prefer more certainty about their donations, we recommend donating to the Top Charities Fund.
