  1. Our reading

    An excellent organisation is significantly more likely to succeed than a weaker one, so organisational strength belongs in the decision about where to give.

    Their wordsThis has reinforced my intuition that excellent organizations are significantly more likely to succeed than others, and GiveDirectly’s overall excellence increases my estimate of the impact it will achieve.

  3. Our reading

    It is not appropriate to donate to your own employer, however good a giving opportunity it would otherwise be.
