Donation Partners

Payouts go to projects that do good efficiently

Those who donate to the Wealth for the World Fund can help decide where its payouts go. The largest share of donations regularly goes to the All Grants Fund recommended by us.

All Grants Fund

GiveWell's All Grants Fund supports proven and promising new approaches to global health and poverty alleviation. It allows donations to be distributed across a variety of impactful projects.

We recommend donations to the All Grants Fund because its mix of established organizations and less established projects, which are supported with calculated risk, is particularly effective in combating global poverty.

In addition, donors can forward the payouts attributable to their donation to one or more organizations from the All Grants Fund portfolio and/or support one of four thematic funds from Effektiv Spenden.

Testimonials

What the press, donors, and scientists say about Wealth for the World

Most donors want to see an impact immediately. As a result, in my view, less is typically saved for future relief than would be ideal. By investing a large proportion of their funds for effective charity in the future, Wealth for the World gives donors an easy way to offset this bias and, I expect, increase their impact.

[T]he idea of the founders of "Wealth for the World" is longer-term: the assumption is that the invested money will grow over a longer period of time and that afterwards more can be donated than has been collected in donations.

Many people do not have the opportunity to invest surpluses on the capital markets and thus benefit from long-term positive developments. Wealth for the World addresses this by collecting donations, investing them in the capital market for the long term (...) - a sustainable approach that I am happy to support!
