At Focused.Charity, we are committed to making charitable giving more intelligent and accessible. One way we do this is by regularly updating our indices with the charities that are making the most impact in their respective cause areas. Here's how it works:
Our indices are designed to help you make informed decisions about where to direct your charitable giving. Each index includes a mix of targeted charities that have been rigorously evaluated and vetted for their effectiveness, and ideal distributions that guide how to allocate gifts across these charities.
We like to think of giving to our indices as similar to buying an index fund. Just as an index fund is diversified across many companies to reduce the risk of underperforming investments, our indices are diversified across many charities to reduce the risk of wasted gifts. This approach helps ensure that your gift is directed towards the charities that are most effective at achieving their goals.
To help you get started, we've compiled a list of our top causes. These pages provide more information about the charities we support and the impact they're making. Here are the links to our top causes:

Our Regional indices support different cities and countries. By giving to one of our regional indices, you can support the charities that are making the most impact in your local community or the communities that matter to you.
Our Disaster Relief indices are designed to support regions facing sudden and catastrophic events, such as natural disasters or invasions by hostile forces. We identify charities that have a proven track record of providing emergency aid and support to those affected by these events. Our central Disaster Relief index is responsive to ongoing challenges. By giving to our Disaster Relief central index, you can help ensure that these communities receive the support they need to survive and rebuild. With your help, we can make a difference in the lives of those affected by these devastating events.
