Donate to GiveWell
Make a tax-deductible gift to GiveWell-recommended charities through Effective Altruism Australia to give more effectively.
We are the Australian partner hosting GiveWell’s Top Charities Fund, All Grants Fund, and the full range of GiveWell-recommended charities.
Australians who want their donations to have the greatest impact can support GiveWell’s top-rated global health programmes – and receive a tax deduction, by giving through Effective Altruism Australia (EAA).
Why Donate Through EAA?
Tax-deductible giving
Since 2016, Australians have already donated more than $35 million through EAA to some of the most cost-effective charities in the world.
Evidence based impact
Donations made directly to GiveWell (US) are not tax-deductible in Australia. Giving through EAA allows you to claim a deduction.
Simple & high effective
GiveWell’s research identifies interventions that save or improve the most lives per dollar. EAA grants your donation in line with GiveWell’s recommendations and funding needs.
