All the charitable programs and projects you can support through our website, all in one place.
Donors from Australia can make tax deductible donations to the programs shown below through our partners Effective Altruism Australia and Effective Altruism Australia: Environment. (More on how this works). To see the full list of programs available on Giving What We Can, please visit the international page.
These charities and funds are our top picks. They are recommended by impact-focused evaluators our research team has vetted, and present exceptional opportunities for impact.
Our donation platform also supports a number of other programmes that broadly align with our principles — in other words, all of these programmes are working on a pressing problem and taking a reasonably promising approach (based on their stated missions and programme descriptions). We’ve roughly ordered these based on our research team’s preliminary impression of which might be most interesting to impact-focused donors, taking into account factors like if we’ve previously recommended them or if they are currently recommended by an impact-focused evaluator. We encourage donors to read more about these giving options before deciding to support them.
These programmes focus on mitigating the worst effects of climate change by promoting clean, scalable, and equitable solutions.
Co-founded in 2009 by moral philosophers Toby Ord and William MacAskill, Giving What We Can is a global community of effective givers and a resource hub for people who want to help. We curate a carefully vetted list of charity recommendations, offer resources and guides so you can make a bigger difference on the problems you care about, and work to change the norms around charitable giving to inspire people to give more, and more effectively.
We believe the scale of global income inequality is so vast that most people living in high-income countries have significant power to affect the lives of others. (See where you stack up here.) To that end, we also help people support high-impact charitable programmes and projects via our donation platform and invite you to join the 3,307 people who have taken a giving pledge.
Donors who plan to make substantial donations can benefit from working with a philanthropic advisor. Please reach out to us and we’ll connect you with an appropriate person or organisation.
