I took the Giving What We Can pledge last month. Prior to this I had an agreement with my wife that each of us could contribute 1⁄2 of 10% of our combined income to charities as we each see fit. This agreement has eliminated conflicts between us when trying to decide where to donate, but I realized it really wasn’t a firm commitment to actually donate. Also, I believe that signing the GWWC pledge will tend to have a positive effect on encouraging others to take the pledge.
Congratulations, this is both publicly beneficial, and provides a long-term commitment. How are you planning to share publicly about taking the pledge?
