I find it important and difficult to decide which charity to donate to, to ensure the most impact rather than how well it is marketed. Givewell.org searches for charities that save or improve lives the most per dollar. Even well-meaning charities can fail to have impact. GiveWell provides evidence-backed analysis of effectiveness. Every quarter they announce top charities based on different criteria and show how they reached the conclusion. This fund has these top charities. It is a good way to be confident that your money is making the most impact it can make.
