Impact Score Distribution

Distribution of Impact Transparency Scores across all analyzed charities. Higher scores indicate more complete operational reporting, not necessarily greater impact.

Sector Impact Comparison

Average Impact Transparency Score by sector, for sectors with 5 or more charities. Higher scores indicate that charities in that sector tend to report more complete operational data.

Impact Transparency Score -- Methodology

Inspired by GiveWell's cost-effectiveness framework, our Impact Transparency Score measures how completely a charity reports the data needed to assess its operational efficiency. It does not measure actual outcomes or impact -- only the availability of the data required to evaluate them.
