Our Grants to GiveWell’s 2015 Recommended Charities
We are excited to announce our grants to GiveWell’s “top charities” for the 2015 giving season.
Topics: Global Health & DevelopmentWe’re committed to sharing what we learn, with detail and honesty, as we give.
We envision a world in which philanthropists increasingly document and share their research, reasoning, results, and mistakes to help each other learn more quickly and serve others more effectively.
In this space, we often cross-post items from the blog of our partner, the Open Philanthropy Project, to give readers a fuller picture of the reasoning behind our work.
