GiveWell UK Relationship Disclosures

Published: 19 May 2022

This page discloses personal relationships involving GiveWell UK persons that GiveWell UK’s audience may wish to consider in evaluating GiveWell UK’s recommendations or GiveWell UK as an organization. In general, we will disclose relationships we judge to be highly important in many places (e.g., on our top charities page); relationships that appear only on this page are judged by us to be relatively unimportant, but still worth publishing for consideration in line with our transparency value. Note that no relationships to date have fit in the former category.

On this page, we disclose the following sorts of relationships:

1. Social, romantic, family, or financial relationships between (a) GiveWell UK persons and (b) people at our top charities or other recommended grantee recipients.
2. Social, romantic, family, or financial relationships between (a) GiveWell UK Trustees and (b) other GiveWell UK or GiveWell persons.
3. Other relationships we feel are worth disclosing.

As of the most recent update of this page, these relationships consisted of the following:
