Giving What We Can

Our Members

Our members come from many different areas including the universities, religious organizations and politics, as well as many other professions and trades. They are united in their concern about the problem of world poverty and have each made our pledge to give at least 10% of their income to where they think it will do the most to eliminate poverty in the developing world.

We currently have 41 members who together have pledged more than
13 million dollars towards this end.

We hope others will join us, adding their names to this list and working together to fight poverty in the most effective ways we can.

A note to charities: we require all of our members to publicly list their names in order to maximize the impact we can have in fighting poverty. This list is given in good faith and we trust that it will not be used to approach our members for funding purposes. Requests should instead be sent directly to Giving What We Can, where we will analyze the effectiveness of the charity and report to our members. Given their dedication to effective aid, our members are highly unlikely to respond to unsolicited requests anyway.
