I think donating at least 10% of one’s income per year should be a norm for any person who identifies as part of the EA community, unless doing so would cause them significant financial hardship.
The whole point of EA is to actually do altruism. If someone’s not doing direct work, has been going to EA meetups for a year, identifies as an EA, and doesn’t at least have stated plans to donate, what makes them EA?
Even EAs who are doing direct work, I would argue, should still donate 10% unless that would cause them significant financial hardship.
