How do we evaluate our charities?

While most charities do great work, some charities are more effective than others. Often, this comes down to the fact that money goes further overseas - where the costs of solutions are lower, and where people are generally facing far greater hardship.

To determine which charities are the most effective, we leverage the brilliant work done by organisations such as The Life You Can Save, Change Path and Give Well. These organisations use sophisticated, evidence-based methods to determine which organisations create the most impact, dollar for dollar. 

At the Five Percent Foundation, we select our charities primarily on their recommendations. As a result, our members can rest assured that their proceeds go to the best charities in the world.
