GiveWell's Top Charities Fund lets you donate money to help save lives around the world. Your donation goes to the most effective health programs that help children and families in poor countries. GiveWell's research team decides which programs need money most and can save the most lives. They give 100% of your donation to these programs. Recent grants helped prevent malaria in children and saved about 2,500 lives. You can donate online and get updates about how your money helped people.
