Our community is full of generous people who’ve taken a 🔸10% Pledge or 🔹Trial Pledge with Giving What We Can — and some of them would love to chat! They aren't staff, just volunteers who are happy to share their story and help you get a feel for whether a pledge could be right for you.
It’s a friendly, 30-minute conversation at a time that suits you. You can ask anything — how they chose where to give, what it feels like to give a significant % away, or how they made the decision. You can also just talk through your own thought process on the pledge and whether you think it could make sense for you. No pressure, just a chance to learn and explore with someone who’s been there.

What will we talk about in the call?
That's up to you! We're aiming to help you understand your own thought process on taking a Pledge. Some suggested prompts to think about before coming into the call:
