Maximise the impact of your donation
At Effective Giving Ireland, we empower you to make a meaningful impact by connecting you with charities that deliver outstanding results and multiply the impact of your giving.
At Effective Giving Ireland, we understand that your giving is driven by a genuine desire to help. Our mission is to support you in ensuring your donations have the greatest possible impact. By identifying charities that have demonstrated outstanding results, we help you make sure your generosity reaches its full potential and creates lasting, positive change.
What impact can your donation make?
We focus on large-scale causes with highly effective solutions that are severely underfunded.

Fight poverty
Every day, thousands of children lose their lives due to extreme poverty. But it doesn’t have to be this way: The most effective charities can save a child’s life for less than €5,000.
Mitigate climate change
We are currently on track to exceed 2.5°C of global warming, bringing severe consequences. But it doesn’t have to be this way: The most effective climate charities can prevent a tonne of CO2 for less than €1.
Improve animal welfare
Every year, billions of animals endure horrific conditions on factory farms. This doesn't have to be the case: The most effective charities can improve the lives of countless animals for as little as one euro.
Safeguard our future
Humanity now faces several existential threats, including more severe pandemics, nuclear war, and the dangers of unregulated AI. Our Giving Fund backs the most effective solutions to address these risks.
The best charities are up to 100 times more effective than average charities

How We Select the Most Effective Charities
Prioritise problems
The impact of your donation largely depends on the cause you support. We prioritise addressing significant yet overlooked issues for which there are proven solutions.
Evaluate solutions
Independent experts evaluate the most cost-effective strategies in these cause areas, using scientific research to guide their analysis.
Vet Charities for Effectiveness
Once effective strategies are identified, we rigorously vet charities working in each cause area to ensure they can execute these solutions with maximum impact.
Provide recommendations
Finally, we recommend only the top-performing charities. Only organisations with a track record of success and transparency are considered for recommendation.
"We should reward the charities that we believe do the most good, not those that have the best marketing strategy, otherwise the most successful charities will be those that are best at soliciting funds, not those that are best at making the world a better place."
"Charity ain’t giving people what you wants to give, It’s giving people what they need to get"
