    Note: This grant was awarded while the Open Philanthropy Project was a partnership between GiveWell and Good Ventures.

    Good Ventures awarded a grant of $4,470,000 to Evidence Action in support of its Deworm the World Initiative in January 2017, in recognition of the Initiative earning a “top charity” ranking from GiveWell in 2016.

    GiveWell recommends charities that (1) focus on programs with a strong track record and excellent cost-effectiveness, (2) can use additional funding to expand their core programs and (3) are exceptionally transparent. Our grants to GiveWell-recommended charities are intended to help these outstanding organizations scale their programs and to signal the importance of qualities like cost-effectiveness and transparency to other charities and donors. Read GiveWell’s review of the Deworm the World Initiative to learn more about the charity’s activities and follow its progress.
