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

  1. Simply indicate in the form we send you that you'd like to donate the payment.
  2. Let us know which of the GiveWell top charities (see above link) you'd like us to send the donation to.
  3. 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.

Still need help? Submit a request and we'll get back to you.
