A observe on timing
This put up covers funds raised and directed in our metrics yr 2022 (spanning February 1, 2022 to January 31, 2023). Our metrics report is often printed no less than six months after the shut of the metrics yr as a result of we have to acquire information on donations we affect from third events after which cross-check that information to make sure we aren’t double-counting any funds. This yr we had been moreover delayed by competing inner priorities.
Funds raised
In 2022, we raised barely extra funding than throughout 2021, and considerably greater than prior years.3Word that the chart refers to our historic funds raised. The figures for 2020 and earlier seek advice from our “cash moved,” which tracked the funding that was each raised and directed in a given yr. We at the moment are reporting on funds raised and funds directed individually, which we consider is easier and clearer.
We’re excited by a seamless pattern of donors trusting GiveWell to allocate their donation (e.g., by giving to one among our Giving Funds) as a substitute of selecting to limit their donation to a selected charity. In 2022, GiveWell determined learn how to allocate 91% of the funds we raised, in comparison with 86% the prior yr.
