Global Giving Pledge is a personal, voluntary commitment to donate a chosen amount to charity over a set period. Join people around the world turning good intentions into action.
Take the PledgeIf you're reading this, you're likely among the richest people on the planet. Even modest donations from high-income individuals can have a transformative impact on the world's poorest.
People who make explicit pledges are significantly more likely to donate than those who simply intend to. A pledge turns a vague aspiration into a concrete plan.
A pledge of just $20 per month over a year provides $240 — enough to protect over 100 people from malaria through insecticide-treated bed nets.
Decide how much you'd like to commit to donating each month. Any amount makes a difference — there's no minimum.
Choose how many months you'd like your pledge to last. Most people pledge for 6 to 12 months.
Confirm your commitment by signing with your initials. You'll receive a personalised pledge summary as confirmation.

Yes, at any time. Life circumstances change, and we understand that. The pledge is designed to help you act on your values, not to create financial hardship.
There is no right answer. Some people pledge 1% of their income, others choose a fixed amount they're comfortable with. The most important thing is that the amount feels meaningful to you but doesn't create financial strain.
