About Aid.Works

In 2014, Americans donated $14.93 billion to organizations working on global issues.

These donations travel around the world to fund food, education, housing, art and infrastructure, among many other initiatives.

Despite our best intentions, it is often difficult to determine what works in global aid and why it works.

What kinds of charities really make a difference in people’s lives?  How can global aid workers make the best decisions given often difficult circumstances?

Our mission at Aid.Works is to empower ordinary people to do extraordinary work.

Our stories are dedicated to helping people align their intention and actions to improve impact and outcomes.
