  GWWC Anniversary Week Update:
  
  We’re in the middle of celebrating Giving What We Can and the 10% Pledge’s 15th anniversary! Thanks to everyone who has posted their thoughts, pledge stories, or hopes for the future on social so far and/​or contributed to our EA Forum thread.

  We’ve also been posting pledge-focused content on our blog all week (and a bit before) and wanted to highlight a couple great posts to check out:

  -The “Progressive Pledge” by Phillip Popien and Alana HF (a unique way to gradually increase your pledge percentage that takes into account decreasing marginal utility of money)

  -The Virtues of Virtue Signaling by Martin Jacobson (an in-depth look at public giving — why it’s sometimes difficult or discouraged, and why maybe it shouldn’t be)

  Our Effective Giving Global Coordinator and Incubator Luke Moore also posted a great piece on how Peter Singer’s ideas transformed his life!

  Of course, don’t let these more in-depth examples dissuade you from posting your quick thoughts on what the Pledge has meant to you — even just a few sentences is great! :)

  Can’t wait to share the compilation of anniversary week posts and thoughts at the end of the week!
