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.

Thank you, Saloni for your giving, and for your advocacy!

We don't have to sit back and just watch the horror unfold This month, I signed a pledge to donate at least 10% of my lifetime income to effective charities.

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.

"While it’s not a substitute for government, I strongly believe ordinary individuals can play a vital role in filling aid gaps. This is especially important when governments can't — or won't — act," says James.

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. 🧵

How I moved from donating 3% to a 10% Pledge

“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.” 🌎

YouTube video by Giving What We Can The story behind the 10% Pledge

"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

The problem with US charity is that it’s not effective enough The New York Times painted a misleading picture. Less than 0.2 percent of US charity is ruthlessly optimized.

We think that @dylanmatt.bsky.social's response in @vox.com was right on:

"Maybe when the bednets crew amounts to more than 0.18 percent of giving, it’ll be worth asking if we’ve gone too far. But if the question is really Notre Dame versus dying kids, there is only one right answer"

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!

Massive congrats, Matt!

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

As we continue to share your pledge stories for anniversary week, we hear from Tom Delaney – an Australian growing up (and still living today) in an informal settlement in North India – about his decision to take the 10% Pledge.

Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us, Tom!

“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?”

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!
