This is my first post. The notes said cringe is OK, so cringe here we go:
I need help talking with high net-worth individuals in order to convince them to donate more. I am fortunate to be around many, and looking for any resources or support on how exactly to convince them to make more donations.
First, I identify a high networth individual as someone who has more than $5m in personal lifetime earnings. Though for simplicity, lets say has $5m in the bank.
Second, my goal is to help them create a community of giving. I want to convince them to go to their neighbor, and give that neighbor money until that neighbor also has $5m in the bank. Then those two goto a third neighbor. Those three goto a 4th neighbor...n+1
If we continue this process, then everyone in that vicinity will have $5m, and they can all work together to make more money as a collective, and in my view, continue widening their circle, OR pool it and apply given the wonderful research here.
Again, this is my first post, I get that its cringy, Ill leave it there and wait for feedback.
The general question is, just to reiterate: what are some solid methods to convince people with more than $5m to give away their excess?
I'd much prefer to hear success stories about what has worked, rather than "someone with $5m SHOULD be persuaded by seeing the most effective giving strategies as developed in the EA forum."
Thank you all for the great work!
Check out organisations such as Effective Giving, Longview Philanthropy, and Founders Pledge. Oh and funding circles such as the Mental Health Funding Circle. Good luck!
