What is the 10% Pledge ?
The 🔸10% Pledge is a public commitment, initiated by our partners ‘Giving What We Can’, to give a percentage of your income or wealth to organisations that can most effectively help others.
This is how it works:
- You pledge to donate 10% of your income to charities of your choice.
- You can report and track your giving on your personal pledge dashboard on the Giving What We Can website.
- ‘Giving What We Can’ shows you your giving history, connects you with other pledgers, and reports on the impact of a global community of people committed to creating a better world.
Why take the 10% Pledge?
1.
If you earn the average net salary in France, €2,500, you’re in the top 3.4% of the world’s richest people.
Ten percent sounds like a lot until you realise that, in most cases, you will still be in highest income decile, even after making a donation!
2.
You can have 100 times more impact by donating to the most effective charities (seriously, 100x!).
Ten percent sounds like a lot, until you realize how much that money can help others if it’s in the right hands.
3.
If everyone made a pledge, we could eliminate global poverty.
Ten percent sounds like a lot until you realize that you’re part of a community and that together we can do amazing things.
