We believe the most important decision a philanthropist makes is choosing which causes to fund.
That’s why we devote significant effort to investigating specific areas before committing resources to them. We evaluate causes using three key criteria:
* * *
**Importance** The scale and severity of the problem
* * *
**Neglectedness** Whether the cause receives adequate attention and resources
* * *
**Tractability** The likelihood that additional resources can create meaningful progress
