However, because the effectiveness of different charities varies wildly, it is important that we donate to the most effective charities if we want to have a significant impact.</p> <p>We are focused on increasing the number of donors who prioritise effectiveness, and helping them to maximise their charitable impact throughout their lives. We are best known for the <a href="/pledge" style="color: #BA175B !important;">10% Pledge</a>, where over 9,000 people have pledged to give over 10% of their lifetime income to high-impact charities. To date, our pledgers — representing over 100 countries — have donated an estimated $400 million USD to high-impact charities, and have committed nearly $3 billion more via their lifetime pledges.</p> <p>The GWWC team is hard-working and mission-focused, with a culture of open and honest feedback. We also like to think of ourselves as a particularly friendly and optimistic bunch.</p> <p>In all our work, we strive to take a positive and collaborative attitude, be transparent in our communication and decision-making, and adopt a scout mindset to guide us towards doing the most good we can do, including by evaluating our own impact and learning from the results.

We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, or disability status. We are happy to make any reasonable accommodations necessary to welcome all to our organisation.</p> </section>
