Against Malaria Foundation

Malaria is generally regarded in effective altruism literature to be the #1 most effective "lives saved per marginal dollar." GiveWell, an independent third party evaluator, ranks Against Malaria Foundation as their #1 recommended charity.

GiveDirectly

From GiveWell: Directly transferring money to poor individuals allows them to purchase that which they believe will help them most. Strong evidence indicates that cash transfers lead recipients to spend more on their basic needs (such as food) and may allow recipients to make investments with high returns, with no evidence of large increases in spending on items like alcohol or tobacco. (For more, see our full report on cash transfers.) We believe that GiveDirectly effectively distributes cash to extremely low-income individuals.
