FAQ
Does this require a GiveWell account? No. All data comes from GiveWell's public research pages — no account needed.
What makes GiveWell different from other charity evaluators? GiveWell focuses exclusively on quantitative impact evidence and cost-effectiveness. Their research identifies charities where donations have the highest marginal impact on saving or improving lives.
What is a "Top Charity" vs. "Standout Charity"? Top Charities are GiveWell's highest-confidence recommendations — they rigorously meet all criteria for transparency, evidence base, and room for more funding. Standout Charities are strong organizations that don't quite meet the Top Charity bar.
How often does GiveWell update its recommendations? GiveWell reviews and updates its recommendations annually, with the most significant changes typically in November–December.
Can I get profiles for charities not on the top list?
Yes — use getCharityProfile mode with any GiveWell charity URL, such as https://www.givewell.org/charities/psi.
