Announcing the launch of our new website

  • Content Type: Blog Posts

Table of Contents

    Published: June 07, 2022 | by Aaron Gertler

    We’ve just launched a new version of our website. We think the new design will make our content easier to navigate, so that readers have an easier time learning about our work and our thinking.

    As part of the launch, we’ve updated language on a number of core pages to better reflect how our work has evolved in the years since our previous website was created. 

    This includes updates to our mission statement, which had been in place since our incubation as a project of GiveWell. The new statement is more concise, and we think it better reflects the breadth of our work:

    “Our mission is to help others as much as we can with the resources available to us.”

    Other updates include:

    • The ability to sort and filter much of our published content, including blog posts, research reports, and notable lessons.
    • Statistics on our giving in each of our focus areas.
    • A new page explaining the difference between our two grantmaking portfolios (Global Health & Wellbeing and Longtermism).
    • New pages for our newest focus areas, South Asian Air Quality and Global Aid Policy.

    If you experience any issues using the new site, or want to suggest a change, we would appreciate your feedback! Contact [email protected] to get in touch.
