Donating effectively
Donating effectively to charity
Give For Good is part of the effective altruism movement: we help you to support charities in an effective manner. We do this in two ways:Â
- Our donation model: the Give For Good model ensures that the charities you choose to support get an income every year because of your one-time donation. Over time, this results in much more money that goes to charity! See here for more info.
- We make it easy and simple for you to donate to a theme: we make sure that your donation is used to support the most effective charities in that theme each year. Click here to donate to a theme.

How we choose charities
The most effective charities
We make it easy and simple for you to support the most effective charities. Within each of our themes, we choose the most effective charities for you. We do this by making use of reports produced by organizations who specialize in comparing charities on effectiveness: Give Well, Happier Lives Institute, Giving What We Can, Animal Charity Evaluators, University of Amsterdam, Stichting Doneer Effectief, The Life You Can Save, and Founders Pledge.
