Making Generosity Aspirational
Access the world's most effective and reputable charities, gain deep insights, and share your generosity with the world.
The Giving Index
In 2026, we will be rolling out our donation platform and the AboveWealth Giving Index. With these enhancements, you will gain access to vetted, reputable, and evidence-based charities through our easy-to-use platform. The Giving Index will be a centralized database of who's giving, who they're giving to, and the problems their generosity is solving. By making generosity a matter of public record, we hope to insprire others, encourage friendly competition, and create a culture where people aspire to generosity, not endless accumulation.
Until then, we encourage you to check out the charities and foundations below.
