In the spirit of last week’s 15th anniversary celebrations, we’re sharing this brilliant video by 10% Pledger Michael Dello-Iacovo, PhD: Finding Purpose by Living on $29k USD & Giving Away the Rest. Watch it for some real inspiration on how fulfilling (and easily manageable) it can feel to do good. Michael dives into the details of how he lives comfortably and truly happily while donating all of his income above the threshold he set for himself—to charities that make a real impact.

It's been amazing to see our French community celebrating our 15th anniversary on social media!
[English below] 💵 Depuis que j’ai pris l'engagement "10% Pledge🔸" de Giving What We Can en 2019, j’ai consacré au moins 10 % de mes revenus à des dons chaque année. Au fil des années, j’ai soutenu The Good Food Institute, Malaria Consortium, Fish Welfare Initiative, ainsi que bien d’autres organisations. 📌 Ce que j’ai trouvé le plus gratifiant dans cet engagement, c’est le fait de voir l'impact concret que peut avoir mon argent dans ces ONG dont l'efficacité est reconnue. ❓ Pourquoi je parle de ça ? Il y a de bonnes raisons de penser que "l'effet normatif" d'un comportement comme le don, donc le fait que de plus en plus de personnes donnent et que cela devienne une norme, passe notamment par des illustrations comme celle-ci. 🌟 Je suis enthousiaste à l’idée que Giving What We Can atteigne bientôt les 10 000 engagements à donner 10 % et je ne peux que vous encourager à le faire si vous le pouvez ! ➡️ https://lnkd.in/ebiSzhqY --- 💵 Since I took the "10% Pledge🔸" from Giving What We Can in 2019, I’ve donated at least 10% of my income every year. Over the years, I’ve supported The Good Food Institute, Malaria Consortium, Fish Welfare Initiative, and many other organizations. 📌 What I’ve found most rewarding about this commitment is seeing the tangible impact my money can have on these highly effective NGOs. ❓ Why am I sharing this? Because there’s good reason to believe that the "normative effect" of behaviors like giving, where more and more people contribute and it becomes a societal norm, relies on examples like this one. 🌟 I’m excited that Giving What We Can is nearing 10,000 commitments to give 10%, and I can only encourage you to take the pledge too if you can! ➡️ https://lnkd.in/ebiSzhqY

Hva ville du gjort hvis du visste at du kunne redde et liv hvert år og samtidig være blant verdens 3% rikeste? Jeg grep sjansen og gir bort 10 % av inntekten min hvert år. Første januar i år tok jeg et valg som har gjort livet mitt mer meningsfylt og som kommer til å forbedre og redde mange liv. Jeg lovet å gi bort 10% av inntekten min hvert år resten av livet til de mest effektive tiltakene for å bedre andres liv. Jeg er så utrolig heldig som har blitt født i Norge, med de mulighetene det gir, og jeg mener at det gir meg et ansvar for å dele noe av det jeg har med dem som ikke har vært like heldige. Da jeg oppdaget at det koster rundt 50 000 kroner å kontrafaktisk redde et liv* gjennom de mest effektive bistandstiltakene slo det meg at jeg kan redde minst ett liv hvert år. Samtidig ville jeg fremdeles vært blant verdens 3% rikeste og ha ca. medianlønn i Norge ETTER å ha donert 10%. Valget ble dermed enkelt. Jeg er uten tvil veldig privilegert som har muligheten, men i Norge er det mange som meg. På en litt trøtt mandagsmorgen er det veldig motiverende å vite at når jeg går på jobb så bidrar jeg blant annet til vitamintilskudd til underernærte barn, sørger for at flere får livsviktige spedbarnsvaksiner og forebygger malaria, gjennom mine donasjoner til Gi Effektivt. Det er tre grunner til at jeg deler dette (og markerer valget med 🔸 bak navnet mitt): 1. Jeg håper å inspirere andre som har muligheten til å gi mer. Det vil gjøre verden bedre, hovedsakelig for de som mottar hjelp, men også for de som gir. 2. Jeg ønsker å spre budskapet om hvor utrolig heldig de aller fleste i Norge er sammenlignet med det store flertallet av menneskeheten. Uavhengig av om man velger å gi, er det godt å få en anledning til å sette pris på det gode i livet sitt. 3. Jeg er stolt og glad for at jeg har tatt dette løftet, og de som kjenner meg vet at jeg liker å dele livets oppturer med folkene i livet mitt. Jeg tror juletiden for mange er en god tid til å reflektere over om man kan leve et rikt og godt liv med litt mindre, og hvor mye overskuddet ville betydd for andre. Ta gjerne kontakt dersom du lurer på noe eller vil ta en prat om det å ta et slikt løfte! *50 000kr er ikke prisen av f.eks. en dose malariaforebyggende medisin, men den totale kostnaden for å gi medisin til så mange barn at det forhindrer et dødsfall som ellers ville skjedd.

We hosted one of our largest ever Giving Games with Humanitix! Thanks to Jenny Chung for deciding to spark discussion about where we can maximise our impact with $100k from Humanitix! We are thrilled to see businesses like Humanitix and Give Industries donate 100% of their profits to effective charities. Congratulations!
2024 has been a HUGE year at Humanitix! We’ve donated another $10 MILLION AUD, bringing us to a mammoth $16.5 MILLION donated overall! 💪✨ With tickets for good, not greed, we’ve continued to fund some of the world’s most impactful charities providing education, healthcare and alleviating poverty for humans across the world AND we’ve expanded our impact even further by giving our staff the chance to decide where some of our profits go… Check out our latest Impact Report (released today!) to find out more about how your booking fees have continued to be a force for good this year: https://lnkd.in/gX4yaEKg #ticketsforgoodnotgreed #humanitix #impactreport #impactmilestone #socialimpact

“Some of my poorest friends have taught me a thing or two about generosity, by sharing a meal or giving to a beggar. If they can give self-sacrificially, why shouldn’t those of us who can give at very little cost to ourselves do so?” As we continue to share your pledge stories for anniversary week, we hear from Tom Delaney – an Australian growing up (and still living today) in an informal settlement in North India – about his decision to take the 10% Pledge. Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us, Tom! https://lnkd.in/gUseMygN
