Making a Wire Transfer Donation to GiveWell

Thanks for your interest in donating to GiveWell!
Because of the extra administrative work associated with wire donations, GiveWell prefers donations via ACH for gifts under $1 million. You may donate via ACH using our secure donation form here. If you complete your donation via ACH instead of via a wire transfer, there is no need to fill out the form below.
If you decide to donate via wire transfer, please complete our donation form below prior to making your wire transfer. Doing so will:
  • enable us to match your contact information with the wire transfer we receive and send you a receipt;
  • allow you to specify your preference for allocating your donation; and
  • reduce the administrative cost associated with processing your donation.
Donations received without an accompanying donation form submission or identifying information in the wire memo will be treated as anonymous donations to our Unrestricted Fund. Donations to our Unrestricted Fund may be used for operating expenses or, per our excess assets policy, be designated for grantmaking to highly impactful and cost-effective programs.. After completing this form, please use GiveWell’s bank account information below to complete your transfer:
