GiveDirectly is a nonprofit organization that enables governments, foundations, and individual donors to fund direct cash transfers to people living in extreme poverty. It manages the full transfer process, from locating recipients and integrating them into electronic payments networks to monitoring transfers end-to-end. The organization charges only the cost of delivering the service, with no additional fees. Based in New York, it operates as a technology-enabled approach to humanitarian cash assistance. Its work targets governments, philanthropic funders, and individual donors seeking efficient, transparent aid delivery. In March 2026, GiveDirectly announced expansion of its program in Kenya to reach 5,300 women by the end of 2026, in partnership with county health leaders.
