I’ve been following GiveDirectly’s work for many years and have sometimes given them money. I consider them very trustworthy. I consider giving cash to be the benchmark against which other charitable interventions should be judged, and GiveDirectly does a good job at giving cash.
They’ve also been recommended by GiveWell before, and GiveWell has a very rigorous evaluation process. (They aren’t one of GiveWell’s current recommendations, though, since they seem to believe other charities are even more cost-effective.) Here is GiveWell’s evaluation of one of GiveDirectly’s other initiatives.
GiveDirectly did have a serious problem with large-scale fraud a few years ago, but I think the investigation was done well and hopefully they’ve fixed it.
