Question: You say “If a median household in the United States took the Giving What We Can pledge, they would donate enough to save nearly two lives every year!” and I’m just wondering what the math on that looked like?
In regards to AMF, it costs $2,300 to save a life. If median household income is $70,784 (as of 2021) and they took the pledge at 10%, they would donate $7,078, enough to save three lives by these numbers.

A small update, but a heartening one I think :)
