Can I donate my payment instead?
Updated 4 July 2026 · reviewers · donations · payment
Yes — many of our reviewers redirect their fee to charity rather than receive it personally.
To keep impact transparent and measurable, we donate exclusively to GiveWell's top charities.
How it works
- Simply indicate in the form we send you that you'd like to donate the payment.
- Let us know which of the GiveWell top charities (see above link) you'd like us to send the donation to.
- We make the donation on your behalf and email you back a confirmation with the receipt details.
If you're not sure which to pick, GiveWell's site explains each charity's programme and evidence in detail.
