Background
GiveDirectly
is driving a re-evaluation of the assumptions underlying international
philanthropy with a provocative model: we deliver donations directly to the
extreme poor and let them decide what to do with them. This approach builds on
two converging trends: the rapid spread of electronic last-mile payments
solutions in the emerging markets, and the large body of experimental evidence
showing that direct transfers are as or more cost-effective at reducing poverty
than more traditional, top-down approaches. GiveDirectly’s field operations
utilize state-of-the-art technology and business processes to deliver transfers
securely, efficiently, and transparently. Our unorthodox approach – allowing
the poor, and not the donor, to choose where they invest – has prompted debate
in the popular press and among policy makers. GiveDirectly has been featured on
NPR’s This American Life, and in Foreign Affairs, The Economist, and The New York Times. It was named one of the Top
10 Most Innovative Companies in Finance by FastCompany, one of the 25 Most Audacious
Companies by Inc., and one of GiveWell’s top-rated charities
for 4 years running.
