GWWC July 2021 Newsletter

Link post

Thanks to those of you who participated in our member motivations research! The results are in our latest report on why people pledge to give a meaningful portion of their incomes to effective charities.

We have further research to do, but at this stage, a few things seem pretty clear as motivators:

  • People with means have an enormous opportunity to help others;

  • They can have a much bigger impact if they donate effectively;

  • Committing to act on this opportunity can help them to follow through on their plans to give; and

  • Following through can help bring meaning and purpose to the lives of these committed effective givers.

This is exemplified by member Rickey Fukazawa who recently shared her effective giving story on our blog.

Sharing your effective giving story is a great way to inspire others to also give effectively.

We hope you enjoy the rest of this newsletter, which covers our upcoming online events, the latest from the effective altruism community, and news and updates about relevant cause areas.

Help Spread Effective Giving

A great way to multiply your impact is to tell people about effective giving. Here are just a few ways you can help advocate for effective giving:

Spreading effective ideas and growing our community helps us make progress on some of the world’s most pressing problems. Importantly, it also enriches the lives of the givers. It can take courage, but it’s worth it!
