Pledge to give a percentage of your income regularly with our partner Giving What We Can
Medics can have impact through our work, our voice and our money.
You can have immediate impact by donating to effective charities, alongside any impact you achieve through your work and advocacy efforts.
Regular donors who give 1% or up to 10% of their income have reported*:
“It’s one of the few things I spend money on that consistently makes me happier.”
“Donating regularly makes me feel more aligned with my values.”
*Quotes from Giving What We Can members
Why do more medics not donate regularly? Because often
people underestimate how feasible it is to do, and
are skeptical about how much impact can be achieved.
How rich are you?
If you earn more than US$ 65,000 per year after tax, you’re in the top 1% earners globally.
It is common for donors to be surprised at how little they notice the potentially negative consequences of giving 10% of their income to effective charities.
“The impact of the donations dwarfs the small sacrifices I make.”
“I’ve never regretted donating. If anything, I wish I had started earlier.”
How much impact can your money have?
If you use the evidence to choose charities carefully, your money can have 100X impact compared to others.
That means saving 100x more lives!
