Offseason Global Charity Impact Update

Thanks to the generous donations of our contributing members, we are able to continue our giving to highly-effective charities throughout the year – even in the offseason. Over the fourth quarter of 2022, we were able to provide funds to GiveWell which were granted to Malaria Consortium‘s seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) program which distributes antimalarial drugs to children 3 to 59 months old in order to prevent illness and death from malaria. Our fourth-quarter donation provided 100 full courses of antimalarial drugs to prevent the disease in young children. GiveWell expects that the work funded by all fourth-quarter Top Charities Fund donations will save over 6,200 lives by delivering antimalarial drugs to children.

About Malaria Consortium
Malaria is one of the leading causes of death globally for children under five. Malaria Consortium’s SMC program protects children in this age group against malaria by distributing preventive drugs in areas where transmission is highly seasonal. Several randomized controlled trials provide strong evidence that SMC reduces cases of malaria, and Malaria Consortium’s surveys indicate that a high percentage of the targeted recipients are reached.

About GiveWell
GiveWell is a nonprofit dedicated to finding outstanding giving opportunities and publishing the full details of our analysis to help donors decide where to give. We recommend a list of top charities to donors. We also offer donors the option to give to our giving funds. GiveWell is focused on finding a small number of outstanding giving opportunities, not on reviewing as many charities—or as many causes—as possible. We don’t focus solely on financials, such as assessing administrative or fundraising costs. Instead, we conduct in-depth research to determine how much good a given program accomplishes (in terms of lives saved, lives improved, etc.) per dollar spent.
