Main Evaluation Document
The evaluation form assesses multiple aspects of each organization’s work across criteria that cover the problem, intervention, and organizational level, in line with the The Life You Can Save’s Evaluation Framework.
This assessment is based on information collected through a combination of desk research, monitoring data provided by the organization, interviews with recommended organization’s staff and leadership, and site visits.
Quality of Evidence Form
This document captures The Life You Can Save’s assessment of the quality of evidence supporting the interventions that our recommended organizations implement.
This systematic assessment is critical for ensuring that philanthropic resources are directed toward demonstrably effective interventions.
Organizational Quality Form
This form captures our assessment of the organizational quality of the charities that we recommend. The assessment criteria are based on a synthesis of the literature regarding five core criteria we consider essential organizational aspects.
The information for this form is collected through a combination of desk research, conversations with the staff from the recommended charity, and site visits.
Cost-effectiveness Analysis Spreadsheet
This document captures our cost-effectiveness calculations for the recommended charity. Cost-effectiveness estimates are primarily valued as a tool to identify significant disparities in efficiency among interventions.
Despite the substantial effort invested in these analyses, The Life You Can Save views the resulting cost-effectiveness figures as highly approximate. Consequently, funding recommendations are never made solely on the basis of these calculations.
