A lot of reasons, but many realised:
If you earn at least 47,000 USD (post tax) per year, you are in the richest 2% globally.
Ten percent seems like a lot until you realise that in most cases, you’ll still be in the top richest income percentile even after donating it!
You can have 100x more impact by donating to the most effective charities (seriously, 100x!)
Ten percent seems like a lot until you realise just how much it can help others in the right hands.
If everyone stepped up in this way, we could legitimately reshape the world.
Ten percent seems like a lot until you realise you’re not alone, and together – we can do incredible things.
Our community includes 9,188 people who have committed to donate 10% or more of their lifetime income by taking the 🔸10% Pledge or the Further Pledge.
Our community also includes 924 people who have made commitments to donate at least 1% or more of their income for a specified period of time by taking a 🔹Trial Pledge. A further 4,257 people have already completed their 🔹Trial Pledge.
We also have company members in our community — these are companies who have made commitments to donate a percentage of their profits to highly-effective charities.
We're changing the norms around charitable giving. By publicly committing to dedicate a portion of your resources to help others, you'll inspire more people to do the same.
