or to give to GiveWell itself

This would be the most optimal use of $20k IMHO - giving to an organization that guides donations to more honest, better operated charities means more people effectively helped. $20k could be used to cover hosting and operations costs so that people like you and I have a resource to show us what will give the most bang for our collective buck.

Billions of dollars go to charities annually but high administrative costs and poor management means only a fraction reaches the intended target.



Not all administrative costs are bad. Givewell itself is 100% overhead, for instance.
