Doneer Effectief Fund: Poverty and Health
Doing as much good as possible. Every single quarter. That’s what we try to achieve with our funds. In doing so, we follow the advice of independent, scientific research institutions that search all around the globe for where your donated euro will have the most impact.
Goal of the fund
Increasing well-being and saving as many lives as possible by demonstrably fighting poverty and improving health care.
Strategy
Through this fund, we prioritize your donation based on the current situation. Every quarter we follow the advice of the experts of the All Grants Fund of the evaluating body GiveWell. This way you are always assured of the greatest effectiveness. Therefore, the recommendations may differ from the top charities we list on our website. We are transparent about how much and to which charities are donated through the fund.
Donating through our fund is the most effective
The donations from the fund can adapt with changing circumstances. This is especially important for periodic donations over several years or for inheritances. As time passes there may be othercharities that deserve preference based on our selection criteria. It is possible that a charity to whom you first made a donation may no longer be able to put further donations to the same use. In these cases, other charities will move to the top of the ranking. With the fund, you can be confident that you are always donating to the best and most effective charity within your preferred field of interest.
How it works
100% of all donations are passed directly to the charity. This applies both to direct donations and to donations via a Doneer Effectief fund. To keep transaction costs as low as possible,we also pass on donations via a fund directly to the charity. The charity evaluation organisation is not an intermediary in the transaction. We do, however, report our action to the evaluators so that they can take into account what we have donated to top charities in their records.

Fund History
Here you will find an overview of all fund donations that have been collected in the past and what it has been spent on.
Sightsavers provides deworming programs in the Democratic Republic of Congo thanks to this support. The programmes treat and protect millions of school-aged children from schistosomiasis and intestinal worms. These two parasitic infections can cause disease and disability, affecting a child’s development, health and future. The cost of treatment by Sightsavers is just €0.32 per child.
Donations were spent on seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) programmes run by the Malaria Consortium. In part, this funding enables the Malaria Consortium to maintain the current scale (from 2022) of its support to SMC programmes from countries in Nigeria, Burkina Faso and Togo until 2025.
