Why would 2,963 people from 20 countries pledge to donate 10% of their income to effective charities?
A lot of reasons, but many realised:
If you earn at least 47,000 USD (post tax) per year, you are in the richest 2% globally.
Ten percent seems like a lot until you realise that in most cases, you’ll still be in the top richest income percentile even after donating it!
You can have 100x more impact by donating to the most effective charities (seriously, 100x!)
Ten percent seems like a lot until you realise just how much it can help others in the right hands.
If everyone stepped up in this way, we could legitimately reshape the world.
Ten percent seems like a lot until you realise you’re not alone, and together – we can do incredible things.
