Some ideas of text to share alongside your image

Tweet length:

  • For so long, I wanted to give back but never knew how. Now, I’ve pledged to give away 10% of my lifetime income to highly effective charities and know that each year, I’m making a meaningful impact with @givingwhatwecan
  • If you’re looking for a New Year’s resolution to do more good - why not consider a giving pledge with @givingwhatwecan? I’ve pledged to give 10% of my income to highly effective charities, and it’s been one of the best commitments I’ve made
  • For 2024, why not commit to giving a portion of your income to the world’s best charities? I took a pledge back in 20XX, and it’s been one of the most meaningful things I’ve done.
  • If the top 1% of earners gave 10% of their income to high-impact charities we could transform the world for the better (see TED talk in bio). Today I’m taking a step towards that world by pledging to give 10% of my income.

Short:

  • If the top 1% gave 10% of their income to solve the world's problems, we could solve most of them (see TED talk in bio). Today, I’m doing my part pledging 10% to make that happen
  • I have taken the 🔸10% Pledge to donate 10% of my lifetime income to effective charities. Find out more and join me here!
