The Bridgespan Group has launched GiveSmart.org, a website designed to help philanthropists make better decisions and get better results from their giving. The website shares effective practices, including case studies, how-to guides, and other decision-making tools, as well as contributions from Bridgespan, informed by its 10 years of collaboration with philanthropists and foundations, and outstanding leaders in the field including the Center for Effective Philanthropy, Grantmakers for Effective Organizations, the National Center for Family Philanthropy, The Philanthropic Initiative and the Philanthropy Roundtable, among others.

The project was funded by the Gates Foundation with an aim of improving donor education.
