I appreciate your thoughts. Many people will be benefited by this great work of yours. I agree with Geri "I’m glad to see that GiveWell is addressing this as is Charity Navigator and others".

I agree with Geri “I’m glad to see that GiveWell is addressing this as is Charity Navigator and others”.

Very interesting. This blog is a new discovery for me and I am loving it. I am one of those people 'frozen into inaction' (in terms of substantial donations) for concerns about how to identify useful and effective organisations to give my money to. After reading a few of the posts on this blog I thought that Village Reach was looking really promising...and glad to benefit from your research on that one. Thanks for sharing your journey and thoughts/research. Very interesting.

You are to be commended for your thoroughness and perseverance. Your account demonstrates why nonprofits need to find consistent and clear ways to report impacts. Most people, faced with the inconsistent, incomplete information you received become frozen: afraid to waste their money so they give nothing. It's a very real problem that undoubtedly deprives nonprofits of many donations. I'm glad to see that GiveWell is addressing this as is Charity Navigator and others. By the way, hats off to your father. He did a good job. What a painful journey! You are to be commended for your thoroughness and perseverance.

I’m glad to see that GiveWell is addressing this as is Charity Navigator and others.

By the way, hats off to your father. He did a good job.
