Timeline of GiveWell

Abstract

GiveWell is a charity evaluator that strives to identify charities that are both cost-effective and transparent. Since its founding in 2006, GiveWell has gone through several significant phases, including a period of initial struggle, a subsequent stabilization, and a later partnership with Good Ventures. The partnership with Good Ventures led to the creation of GiveWell Labs, which later became the Open Philanthropy Project, an independent entity that directs much of Good Ventures’ philanthropic money towards both GiveWell’s top charities and other causes. GiveWell has evolved its research methodology over the years, and has moved increasing amounts of money through its recommendations. GiveWell also has a number of partnerships and collaborations, including with IDinsight, a company that conducts rigorous evaluations of development interventions. – AI-generated abstract
