New Effort Seeks to Steer Donors to High-Impact Charities

As the year-end giving season gets under way, a new effort aims to steer more donations to nonprofits that can prove they get results and have a plan to expand to help more people. The Social Impact 100 Index features high-performing nonprofits that focus on education, health, poverty alleviation and youth development, bringing them together on a Web site that makes it easy for donors to learn more about the groups and to give.
