Why donate ?
In October 1970, the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution including the goal that member states should give at least 0.7% of its gross national product in devellopment assistance. Since then, only six countries have ever met the target, and the OECD average has never exceeded 0.4%. It's in your hands to help build a sustainable and just world.
​Giving What We Can is working to create a world where giving effectively and significantly is a cultural norm. We are a resource hub, community, and force for change. We’re best known for the 10% Pledge, through which ~9,000 people have committed to giving at least 10% of their income to the most effective charities, helping inspire those who can afford it to give what we can to help others. We also do education and outreach about high-impact donations and how to concretely make a difference through effective philanthropy, leveraging thousands of hours of research to help donors find the highest-impact problems and identify the best charities working to solve them. Our community has already donated almost $400 million USD.
