45. Research Your Favourite Charities

 

We all have a number of charities who support issues close to our hearts but how much do you really know about where your money goes? Unlike businesses, the effectiveness of charity projects are rarely looked into, the spending is also barely assessed, giving some CEOs of charities, the opportunity to pay themselves very high salaries. High administrative costs aren’t always a negative as administration ensures the effectiveness of a charity but ultimately, we all want as much money as possible to go to the charitable cause. GiveWell was set up by a few people who wanted to make sure their donations were going to do as much good as possible. After a hefty amount of research which is still ongoing, they created www.givewell.org. Charities on this site have been researched thoroughly to ensure as much of the money as possible, goes back to the cause, the effectiveness of the charities projects, is constantly assessed and improved and the accounts are transparent.
