80K used to have a pledge almost exactly like this (something like ‘contribute at least 10% of my working time to doing the most good), but they moved away from it quite quickly. I can’t find the original wording of the pledge now, but I found an email where said they were replacing it with this ‘statement of intent’:
I declare that I aim to pursue a career as an effective altruist.
This means that I intend to:
(i) Devote a significant proportion of my time or resources to helping others.
(ii) Use the time or resources I give as effectively as possible in helping others.
(iii) Make my career decisions based at least in part on how it enables me to further my altruistic aims.
Further to this declaration of intent, every member, in joining the 80,000 Hours community, agrees to report on their altruistic activities every year.
I’m not sure if that’s still publicised anywhere—it certainly doesn’t seem like they promote it any more.
