How does the 🔸10% Pledge work?

The 🔸10% Pledge is a public commitment to give a percentage of your income or wealth to organisations that can most effectively help others.You choose the charities and report and track your giving on your personal pledge dashboard.

What do we mean by pledging to donate to “effective” charities?

Not all charities are equal. Your choice of where to donate can lead to significant differences in impact. Some charities can easily do 100 times more good with your dollar than others, and often this multiplier is even greater. Giving around $200 USD per month to the charities recommended by GiveWell, for example, could save someone's life every two years.
