Are there “receipts” I can look at to sanity-check that GiveWell does make real grants and that the orgs that receive them do perform real work?
I’d be okay with receipts that take, say, 30 hours of self-education about tax law and 10 hours of combing through spreadsheets to understand, but a receipt a layperson can understand and trust in 5 minutes would be great too!
I don’t particularly doubt anybody, and have given 5-figure amounts to GiveWell in the past; it’s just that it recently occurred to me that if I’m going to keep doing that then I should probably at least nod in the direction of giving the whole thing pat-down.
