What are the satisfactory charities to help in 2024? What do we mean by “effective”?
Not all charities are created equal. Your choice of donation location can make a significant difference in impact.
Our research team estimates that you can often do 100 times the good of your dollar by donating to the best charities, and sometimes the multiplier is even higher. If that’s surprising, you’re not alone. Many donors underestimate the difference between “good” and “great” charities, which explains why many of the best charities need to donate to remain underfunded.
3 Steps to Donating Effectively
Choose a promising cause
Just like triaging an emergency room, it’s important to be smart about what time we operate. If we don’t prioritize, we won’t help as much as we could.
Find an extraordinary organization or fund
Donating $100 to one of the best charities can do more than giving away $10,000 without a second thought. Give to charities with the best available research and reasoning.
Donate effectively
Automating your giving is simpler than an advert hoc approach. Create a personalized, recurring donation that automatically gives to multiple high-impact programs at once.
