What is the Pledge?

The 🔸10% Pledge is a public commitment to donate at least 10% of your lifetime income to the organisations that can most effectively use it to improve the lives of others, with an option to also factor in your wealth when calculating your pledge amount.

Pledge duration: If you take a pledge prior to retirement, then your pledge is considered fulfilled when you retire; however, many of our members — especially those who factor in their wealth — plan to continue to donate in line with their pledge for the rest of their life. The language of the pledge "for the rest of my life or until the day I retire" leaves this decision open, and it is up to you to decide which option you feel most comfortable with. (What if I'm already retired when I take the pledge?)

Pledge options:

In addition to the 🔸10% Pledge, we have three other giving pledges:

• The 🔹Trial Pledge: Donate at least 1% of your income for any period you choose
• The Further Pledge: Donate all of your income above a specified living allowance
• The Company Pledge: Donate at least 10% of your company’s profits
