GWWC Anniversary Week Update:

We're in the middle of celebrating Giving What We Can and the 10% Pledge's 15th anniversary! Thanks to everyone who has posted their thoughts, pledge stories, or hopes for the future on social so far and/or contributed to our EA Forum thread.

We've also been posting pledge-focused content on our blog all week (and a bit before) and wanted to highlight a couple great posts to check out:

-The "Progressive Pledge" by Phillip Popien and Alana HF (a unique way to gradually increase your pledge percentage that takes into account decreasing marginal utility of money)

-The Virtues of Virtue Signaling by Martin Jacobson (an in-depth look at public giving — why it's sometimes difficult or discouraged, and why maybe it shouldn't be)

Our Effective Giving Global Coordinator and Incubator Luke Moore also posted a great piece on how Peter Singer's ideas transformed his life!

Of course, don't let these more in-depth examples dissuade you from posting your quick thoughts on what the Pledge has meant to you — even just a few sentences is great! :)

Can't wait to share the compilation of anniversary week posts and thoughts at the end of the week!

The project is continuing to hibernate for 2023!

Giving What We Can is also happy to sponsor donations for participants who'd like to do a giving game! Generally $10 or $20 for each adult! More info: https://www.givingwhatwecan.org/en-US/events/guides/giving-games

We also offer a trial pledge where you can pledge 1%-10% of income for a custom length of time, so you can see how pledging and giving feels!

That's so nice to hear :)

Welcome to the community and please feel free to reach out if we can help you at all! - Grace

Don't forget to bring something to eat 🙂

Hi Ben,

The donor lottery should be run again at the end of 2023.

As far as we're aware this is the only donor lottery occurring. 

And yes, the GWWC team took over the donor lottery from EA Funds at the end of 2021.

Thanks,

Grace
