Global health and poverty
Against Malaria Foundation
More than 1,100 children die every day from malaria, mainly in sub-Saharan Africa. Against Malaria Foundation distributes insecticide-treated mosquito nets to people at risk. To date, it has delivered 250 million nets.
Between 2004 and 2019, the use of mosquito nets prevented around 816 million cases of malaria and saved around 4.8 millions lives.
Helen Keller International
Vitamin A deficiency causes blindness in 250,000 to 500,000 children, half of whom die within 12 months. Helen Keller Intl supports government programmes that provide high-dose vitamin A capsules to infants at risk.
Vitamin A supplementation has been shown to significantly reduce infant mortality by between 4% and 12%.
New Incentives
Every year, 700,000 children under the age of five die from preventable diseases. New Incentives increases vaccination rates by offering small financial incentives to Nigerian families to take their children to clinics for vaccination.
Vaccination reduces child mortality from vaccine-preventable diseases by approximately 50%.
Animal Welfare
The Humane League
More than 80% of animals in France are raised on factory farms. THL aims to end the abuse of farm animals by persuading companies to adopt higher animal welfare standards.
Over the past decade, THL has successfully secured commitments from more than 400 companies to cease battery egg production.
Good Food Institute
GFI aims to create a fairer, healthier food system, while reducing animal suffering and the ecological footprint of food production. They do this by promoting the development and marketing of alternatives to conventional meat, such as plant based meat and lab grown meat.
In 2024 GFI’s success included a $100 million partnership with the Bezos Earth Fund, halal recognition for cultivated meat in Singapore, and a new office in Japan. Ongoing efforts focus on public funding, national support, and overturning cultivated meat bans.
Climate Change
Clean Air Task Force
CATF fights air pollution and climate change. It promotes clean energy solutions through scientific advocacy, policy reform and technological innovation.
They have been instrumental in helping to pass several key policy reforms in the past few years including the EU methane pledge and the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act.
Good Food Institute
The work of the Good Food Institute (GFI) has a major impact on environmental protection. Livestock farming is responsible for around 20% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Studies show that the Paris climate targets are unlikely to be met without a reduction in conventional livestock farming.
GFI promotes the development of plant based meat alternatives that are tasty, affordable and accessible to all. These cruelty-free, environmentally-friendly foods are intended to replace animal products, thus reducing animal suffering and decreasing carbon emissions.
Safeguarding the future against catastrophic risks
Safeguarding the Future Fund
The Safeguarding the Future Fund addresses humanity’s greatest risks, including pandemics, nuclear war, advanced AI threats, and global conflicts, to protect current and future generations. By focusing on reducing existential threats, the fund offers an effective way to safeguard humanity's future and prevent the suffering of billions today.
Past recipients of this fund include the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace ( CEIP ) which was used to address the global risks arising from the Ukraine war and Blueprint Security to work on the prevention, mitigation and control of future pandemics.
Centre pour la Sécurité de l'IA
In 2025, AIs are able to synthesise toxic molecules and interfere on the result of their evaluation. CeSIA is a French non-profit research organisation that raises awareness of the risks arising from AI systems and advocates technically informed regulation.
In 2024, CeSIA raised awareness of the risks of AI among around one million French people and trained around one hundred people. In 2025, CeSIA contributed to the Code of Practice guiding the implementation of the European Union's AI Act.
Tax deductions in France are currently only available for donations to four of our recommended charities: Against Malaria Foundation, Good Food Institute, Helen Keller International, and Centre pour la Sécurité de l’IA
If you are taxable in France, you will benefit from a tax reduction of 66% of the amount of your donation up to the limit of the tax due or 20% of your taxable income.
In practice, this means that if you were planning to donate €100, you can triple this amount to reach a donation of €300 that you will declare, with a real cost of only €102 after tax reduction. This allows you to multiply the impact of your donation without increasing your planned expenditure.
