Giving What We Can


	“I realised that by donating a large part of my future income to the most efficient charities, I really could save thousands of people’s lives. Since I already have most of the things I really value in life, I thought — why not?” — Toby Ord (Founder of Giving What We Can)

i) Pledge to make a difference

Giving is often easier than people think. In fact, research suggests that helping others tends to make you happier. And you’re still likely to be in the wealthiest 10% of the world population.

ii) Give cost-effectively

Some charities can be up to 1,000 times as cost effective as others, so you can multiply the number of people you benefit through your donation.

Giving What We Can members have all made a commitment to give 10% of their income to the most cost-effective charities.

For a person earning £15,000 per year, this means saving 5 lives every year, or leading to 100,000 fewer missed school days due to illness.

We research the most cost-effective charities so donations can have the best possible impact.
