Overview
Social Impact Research ("SIR") is the research division of nonprofit consulting firm Root Cause.

This grant will support SIR's expenses running this research. In this project, SIR will systematically test donors' response to information about social issues. Importantly, evidence on which interventions have been shown to be the most effective will be at the center of the information presented to donors.
