Several effective giving aligned organisations have expressed interest in raising awareness about the Pledge to their audiences. We’ve heard from some of these organisations that it would be helpful if they could provide a way for their audiences to take the Pledge without introducing Giving What We Can as a new brand, which could be confusing for users, especially if they have to be directed to the Giving What We Can site to sign the Pledge!
It sounds like there’s an intention to allow people to take the pledge without interacting with Giving What We Can directly, but will they still be listed on the Giving What We Can website? Will they be treated as identical to “direct” pledges? Would the partner organisation potentially track + display “their” pledges separately? Will pledgers be somewhat pushed in the direction of having a direct relationship with Giving What We Can anyway, in order to do things like managing their public profile and reporting income and donations?
All pledges taken through partners will appear on GWWC’s website and will be treat as “direct” pledges! Partners could also decide to display the people who pledged through their “club”—but we’re mindful that impact isn’t double counted!
Most people will be added to our english comms about the pledge, but in some cases, where the audience does not speak english, they may not receive the same comms from GWWC, with the expectation that our partner will communicate in their language. We’re handling this on a case by case basis.
At the moment, people will be directed to our website to report their donations and update their profile—but as we develop our partnerships further, we may include ability to report in our API or place the reporting of donations on a more neutral 10percentpledge.org website. We decided to see how the partnerships go before investing more technical time but we’re excited for what the future could hold in this direction!
