A balanced view on taking the Giving What We Can pledge | Grace Adams | EAG London: 2024
Taking a giving pledge could be a high impact way to help others-but there are some important considerations to think through before making a commitment. This session is a balanced exploration about why and why not to pledge, and the relevant factors that might influence your decision. In this talk you'll hear from people who haven't pledged, as well as those who have and learn about their thinking on the topic. We cover insights from Giving What We Can's user research about what motivates people to pledge, as well as why others choose not to pledge. This session is for anyone who gives, or is considering giving, as well as community builders who want to have better conversations about what it means to pledge to give effectively.
