My newest video about my @givingwhatwecan.bsky.social pledge donations is doing well! :D #effectivealtruism #animaladvocacy #tenpercentpledge #givingwhatwecan www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeDf...

🥳 I'm celebrating eight years of generous giving! In a new piece, I explain why where you donate is what matters most. www.linkedin.com/pulse/donate... #Giving #DoingGood #EffectiveAltruism #AnimalWelfare #NoNukes @givingwhatwecan.bsky.social

This might be one of the clearest graphs I've seen for the reasons behind why rich people should donate their surplus income to poor people. I donate 10% of my income each month to @give-directly.bsky.social and @givingwhatwecan.bsky.social 🙂 I'm able to live normally on the remaining funds.

I signed the 10% Giving Pledge this year, and this week, I decided to donate 19% of my annual income to global health charities. It's not going to be anywhere near "enough", but I'm happy to do it --

Have you taken a 10% Pledge or Trial Pledge? Have you been inspired to step up your giving in the face of international development funding cuts? We'd be interested in featuring you on our social media channels, in an effort to inspire others to step up their giving.

After more than a decade of procrastinating, this week I finally filled out the paperwork (ok, webform) to pledge to give at least 10% of my income to effective charities for the rest of my career. 🧵

A Pledge Week spotlight: How Grace went from a 3% to a 🔸10% Pledge 🧡 givingwhatwecan.org/blog/how-i-m... “By slowly working your way up, you could give much more than you thought possible. You might end up giving enough to prevent the death of several children over your lifetime.” 🌎

"Es como tener una cartera mágica que, si se la das a otra persona, convierte el dinero en 100 veces más". 🪄 Así explica @tobyord.bsky.social el impacto que podemos lograr si donamos de forma efectiva y por qué lanzó el 🔸Compromiso del 10% con @givingwhatwecan.bsky.social youtu.be/0B3ewE9q4Gg

I've finally taken the @givingwhatwecan.bsky.social 10% pledge, backdated to when I first started giving in 2019! I'm a huge believer in the power of effective giving to improve the world, and I think the pledge is a great tool for both committing and spreading the word!

Thank you to @tobyord.bsky.social and @rutgerbregman.bsky.social for appearing in our latest video alongside other members!

“Some of my poorest friends have taught me a thing or two about generosity, by sharing a meal or giving to a beggar. If they can give self-sacrificially, why shouldn’t those of us who can give at very little cost to ourselves do so?” www.givingwhatwecan.org/en/blog/taki...

Proud of my 15 years with the 🔶 10% Pledge with @givingwhatwecan.bsky.social It is deeply rewarding to know that more than a year of my salary went to cost-effective charities, having helped thousands of individuals live healthier lives.

Happy 15th Birthday to @givingwhatwecan.bsky.social! I took a pledge back in 2011 at University and it's one of the things I'm proudest of. Since then I've moved jobs, cities and even changed my name. I've kept effective giving a part of my life and now I'm even on GWWC's UK board!

Hello, I am an EA bear and I like to give what I can! Which is mostly marmalade toast. Here I am toasting the 15th anniversary of @givingwhatwecan.bsky.social!!

Happy 15th birthday to Giving What We Can! I signed the 10% Pledge at EAGxBerlin in September after building enough of a safety net. I enjoy donating manually each month, it’s rewarding to see my job making a positive impact, alongside my direct-impact efforts, and it motivates me to do more :)

As Giving What We Can celebrates 15 incredible years, I'm reflecting on my own path to the 🔸10% Pledge. It started with a lunch conversation with a friend years ago about the drowning child thought experiment. The idea stuck with me, but like many big decisions, it took time to ripen. 🧵👇

Happy Birthday to Giving What We Can, which turns 15 today! 🥳 When Toby and I started GWWC 15 years ago, we had just 23 members, each of us pledging at least 10% of our income to effective charities until we retire. Now, over 9,000 people have taken this pledge. www.givingwhatwecan.org

In the end, it is just a logical conclusion every time I think about it again. I donate 10% of my income to effective charities. Realizing that I earn more than 98% of people on this planet was maybe the biggest reason for this decision. www.vox.com/future-perfe...
