Collective action adds up in big ways
than you think.
If you earn ~$65,000/year post-tax
You are the top 1% globally

That’s incredible. The sheer scale of global inequality means that an “ordinary” person living in a high-income country falls somewhere between the top 1 - 5% of income earners worldwide, which means you’re probably on the global rich list. (Look up your salary below to see where you land!)
What if the top 1% donated 10%?
If you donate more effectively
Your $ can go 100x further

Many people lump charities into one “doing good” bucket. Others are sceptical that donating works at all. The reality is that not all charities are equal. Most do good work, but the difference between good and great can be substantial. Some charities are significantly more impactful than others.

You’ll be amazed at how you compare to the world, and how much impact your donations could have.





















The 🔸10% Pledge
We think most people want to help others, but don’t realise the incredible opportunity they have to do so, simply by donating a relatively small portion of their income thoughtfully and strategically.
So we created the 🔸10% Pledge – and its associated 🔹Trial, Company, and Further pledges – to inspire more people to give a percentage of their income to help enrich the lives of others.
10,596 people
who have pledged ≥10% of their income
$341 million donated
