Connect with charities that deliver outstanding results and multiply the impact of your giving.
At Ellis Impact, we believe your giving should create real, measurable change—not just a feel-good story or a polished report. Too many charities focus on looking good on paper, but make little meaningful difference. That’s why we go beyond surface-level metrics like overhead costs and transparency to identify the charities that truly transform lives.
We base our advice on the work of independent, impact-focused charity evaluators and grantmakers. Their research ensures that every charity we recommend is backed by data and evidence. Our recommended charities don’t just promise to make a difference—they have a proven track record of delivering and are up to 100 times more impactful than the average.
Address large-scale problems with highly effective solutions that are severely underfunded.
Global health and development
Every year, tens of millions of lives are lost from preventable diseases as a result of extreme poverty. We recommend charities to tackle critical global health issues, including malaria and noncommunicable diseases. We also support programs that address the root causes of these problems, such as poverty reduction and policy change.
Farmed animal welfare
Billions of farmed animals live and die in horrific conditions every year, yet less than 1% of funding going towards animals helps promote farmed animal welfare. We recommend charities to advance US animal welfare legislation, receive corporate cage-free commitments, and drive alternative protein development.
Climate change
We are currently heading towards global warming of more than 2.5°C. We recommend charities that tackle climate change from various angles: decarbonizing the global energy system, funding research into carbon capture technologies, and passing climate-friendly legislation.
