that 1 in 10 people live in extreme poverty. You don’t think the world should ignore that 15,000 children die everyday from diseases we’ve largely eradicated in higher-income countries.
You understand (or are finding out now!) that – just by earning an average income in a high-income country – you’re extremely wealthy compared to most of the world, likely in at least the top 5% of income earners worldwide.
You want to be sure your donations actually matter. You don’t want to donate just to feel better about yourself – you want to be confident you’re having a real, concrete impact.
Enter your email below and we’ll send you some info about the 10% Pledge and the impact you can have.
That’s incredible. The sheer scale of global inequality means that an “ordinary” person living in a high-income country falls somewhere between the top 1 - 5% of income earners worldwide, which means you’re probably on the global rich list. (Look up your salary below to see where you land!)
What if the top 1% donated 10%?
Many people lump charities into one “doing good” bucket. Others are sceptical that donating works at all. The reality is that not all charities are equal. Most do good work, but the difference between good and great can be substantial. Some charities are significantly more impactful than others.

We think most people want to help others, but don’t realise the incredible opportunity they have to do so, simply by donating a relatively small portion of their income thoughtfully and strategically.
So we created the 🔸10% Pledge – and its associated 🔹Trial, Company, and Further pledges – to inspire more people to give a percentage of their income to help enrich the lives of others.

REMINDER
If you live in a wealthy country, you might not realize just how wealthy you are. Most people living in wealthy countries (US, UK, AUS, etc.) are in the top 5% of income earners worldwide even after accounting for increased purchasing power in lower-income countries. Learn more
You’ll be amazed at how you compare to the world, and how much impact your donations could have.
