We believe the most important decision a philanthropist makes is choosing which causes to fund.
That’s why we devote significant effort to investigating specific areas before committing resources to them. We evaluate causes using three key criteria:
Importance
The scale and severity of the problem
Neglectedness
Whether the cause receives adequate attention and resources
Tractability
The likelihood that additional resources can create meaningful progress
