Submit a charity for GiveWell's review

GiveWell is currently focused on charities working on international aid. That decision was based on the fact that (a) people using our recommendations give overwhelmingly to the areas we think are most cost-effective and (b) we think international aid contains the best opportunities for individual donors to help people. You can use this page to submit a charity focused on international aid for our consideration, or reconsideration.

If you are looking to submit a charity in another area, please consider following our blog. We will announce there if and when we decide to consider charities working in other areas.

We encourage you to review our process before submitting.
