Today is #WorldMalariaDay. Every 2 minutes, a child dies from malaria—a preventable tragedy. Supporting charities like @AgainstMalaria and @FightingMalaria can prevent deaths from malaria for ~$5000 as well as preventing illness in many more people.
Since 1950 almost a billion children died before the age of 5, @OurWorldInData illustrates via analysis of @UN data. While significant improvements in child mortality have been made in the last 70 years, in 2021 alone 5 million children died. ourworldindata.org/data-insights/…
Today, exactly seven years ago, I signed the @givingwhatwecan Pledge and committed myself to donating at least 10% of my income to effective charities. Over these years, I have donated almost 100,000 euros — and got this lovely pin. If you want one too: 👉givingwhatwecan.org/pledge
🌟Online meetup on May 2 ft. Pepijn Vloemans, co-founder of the Ten Percent Club, a leading community for effective giving in 🇳🇱 Pepijn will share strategies and lessons learned from grassroots initiatives to scaling impact. 🕗8-9 pm CET on Zoom. Sign up: calendar.app.google/iA3cekajyazZsX…
In the lead-up to #WorldMalariaDay on April 25, we want to make a real difference in the fight against malaria. Donating to @AgainstMalaria and @FightingMalaria is a cheap and effective way to help. Will you donate to them and help us spread the word? givingwhatwecan.org/best-charities…

I wish our reaction was as positive and emotional when we see new data showing a big, positive development. Given how fantastic and important an achievement like this is, hugs and celebrations are the right reaction.
A big component of feeling comfortable donating 10% of my income as part of the @givingwhatwecan pledge was increasing my financial literacy. Not an expert and still learning a lot, but here are some things that helped me manage my money better and feel comfortable donating 💰
Thank you to our pledgers @Liv_Boeree and @MarcusDaniell for spreading the word about effective giving, @HIAorg, and the GWWC pledge in the latest episode of Win-Win by Liv Boeree! We also recommend the Infectious Generosity episode with @TEDchris! youtu.be/df97HjODc04?t=…
A video by @givingwhatwecan shows Londoners are mostly in the global top 1.5% in wealth, a fact that surprises many. It's a clear call to action for each of us to consider how we give and the impact we can make. youtu.be/ekIRVhbpiQw?fe…
Have you seen our new mini-documentary? It's funny, heart-wrenching and inspiring. Live interviews with Londoners reveal that understanding our place on the global income scale isn't just an exercise in humility, it's a call to action! Watch the full video:youtube.com/watch?v=ekIRVh… x.com/givingwhatweca…
I got my 10 year @givingwhatwecan pledge pin! Lovely to have something to mark a decade of donations. <3 If you want to find out more about GWWC and my reasons for donating, good timing for this new video - featuring me! youtube.com/watch?v=ekIRVh…
Ever wonder how your income compares to the rest of the world? If you’re anything like the people we asked on the streets of London, the answer will surprise you.
Good news: Effectief Geven has launched in Belgium! 🇧🇪 "Als je meer wilt weten over hoe je effectief kunt geven en hoe je jouw impact kunt vergroten, sluit je dan aan bij onze community van changemakers." Learn more and donate at effectiefgeven.be
When we begin to peel back the layers of our perceived economic positions, comparing them to the harsh reality of global income distribution, perspectives shift and casual conversations turn profound. Watch this happen in real time:
Can we make generosity and kindness go viral? Listen to @Liv_Boeree interview @TEDchris for her podcast Win-Win with Liv Boeree. If you don't have much time, here are some key chapters: 2:20 Infectious Generosity 50:04 Effective Giving 1:22:41 GWWC Pledge podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/winwi…

Ok, so I finally decided to take the @givingwhatwecan pledge (but haven't signed yet) Does anyone have any takes on how I should set the wealth component (if at all)? My default plan is going 10% income / 2.5% wealth (as suggested)
Today, exactly seven years ago, I signed the @givingwhatwecan Pledge and committed myself to donating at least 10% of my income to effective charities. Over these years, I have donated almost 100,000 euros — and got this lovely pin. If you want one too: 👉givingwhatwecan.org/pledge
@_Eric_Reinhart @GiveWell @GiveDirectly @AgainstMalaria @MSF There are almost 10,000 people who have taken the @givingwhatwecan pledge and who are donating 10% of their income to effective charities givingwhatwecan.org/about-us/membe…

@leah_pierson @givingwhatwecan signaling! seeing people pledge to donate encourages others to so so as well
@leah_pierson @givingwhatwecan Strong social community, sure, but it is also a viable pledge. "Go to the gym every day" isn't realistic for many without larger lifestyle changes they don't make (and often shouldn't). "More" isn't specific. 10% lets me budget.
@leah_pierson @givingwhatwecan If New Year's resolutions were posted online on a list and within a community of NYR-pledgers, I bet it would go up from whatever the current success rate is today. :)
Organizations like @givingwhatwecan use pledges to promote behavior change. But in many domains, pledges don't work (eg, New Year's resolutions usually fail). So what makes GWWC's model effective (assuming it is)? Would this model work for other moral behaviors?
A video by @givingwhatwecan shows Londoners are mostly in the global top 1.5% in wealth, a fact that surprises many. It's a clear call to action for each of us to consider how we give and the impact we can make. youtu.be/ekIRVhbpiQw?fe…
