Charity evaluator Charity Navigator has introduced Causeway – a platform intended to simplify giving and increase donor impact on the causes donors care about. Causeway is managed with Charity Navigator’s analysts, who select what are in their estimation the most effective and efficient charities. 

Similar to investing in mutual funds, donors can create a giving portfolio of specific cause funds, knowing their contributions go to organizations making a real difference.

The Causeway launch will include managed charitable funds focused on pressing issues such as hunger, homelessness, animal welfare, global health, global poverty, and education. Each Causeway fund includes a mix of charities using proven strategies, from direct services to policy reform, all chosen for maximum impact. Donors simply choose which fund they want to add to their portfolio and donate one time or choose a recurring donation to the fund(s).

The Charity Navigator team researches high-impact, innovative charities and regularly updates the funds to maximize performance. Donors will receive quarterly impact reports beginning in early 2025, providing information about the charities’ actions and the progress toward the cause. Causeway will periodically add new funds to meet donor needs.

Originally launched in 2022 and acquired by Charity Navigator in 2023, Causeway was designed to make philanthropy easier and impactful. Through support of the O’Shea Family Foundation and an anonymous donor, Charity Navigator has integrated Causeway into its platform.

“By tapping into the millions of people who already use Charity Navigator to find charities, Causeway expands convenient, reliable cause-based giving,” said Ben Horwitz, Vice President of Business Development & New Ventures at Charity Navigator and Co-Founder of Causeway said via a statement.

Causeway will grow to include additional cause areas and reporting, broadening awareness of impact areas and giving donors insight into the power of their donations. Learn more at  www.charitynavigator.org/causeway.
