Can I donate my payment instead?
Updated 19 May 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. At the time of writing, these are:
- Malaria Consortium
- Against Malaria Foundation
- Helen Keller International
- New Incentives
- GiveDirectly
How it works
- When we email you about invoicing for your completed review, simply reply that you'd like to donate the payment.
- Let us know which of the GiveWell top charities above 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.
