Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: 10 Percent Pledge, published by Michael 2358 on July 14, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum.
4 years ago GWWC announced that 5,000 people had signed the pledge to donate 10% of annual income to effective charities. I am surprised that number has not doubled since then.
For EAs who have not yet taken the pledge, I am curious why.
Separate but related, if you have taken the pledge, but are not using the new diamond symbol to promote it, I am curious why. I have been surprised to see that people who had advocated for giving 10 percent to effective charities have not been using the , but maybe it's because they have not yet gotten around to doing it.
