I very much agree that those who are wealthiest have much more of a responsibility to give! - but GWWC is not explicitly aimed at trying to get billionaires to donate more, because we’re not really set up to do that! And there are other organisations who are trying to do this much better than we could.
This video is definitely not asking all people to give large amounts to charity, but I also wanted to talk to all kinds of people about charity. People across all spectrums of income give to charity, even people with very low incomes, so I think it’s worthwhile giving people the knowledge that some charities can do a lot more than others. I think Imma is right below that even a small amount can go a long way when donated effectively.
We always encourage people to do what feels right to them, and would agree that people who are just trying to get their own needs met, may be better off not donating!
This video is really for people who have their needs meet (whatever this means to them) and who might be interested in giving. But it’s very hard when you put a video up online to provide all these caveats or messages about who the video is for when you’re trying to make a relatively interesting 15 min video that’s already covering a bunch of topics. How hard it is to get the balance right is something I’ve been reflecting on lately. I hope we’ve struck an okay balance here.
