Take the Serious Givers Pledge. It’s not the “Gates – Buffett Giving Pledge” — which invites “the wealthiest individuals and families in America to commit the majority of their wealth to philanthropy.” The Serious Givers Pledge is the giving pledge for the rest of us.
The rest of us are a charitable giving force to be reckoned with
- 65% or more of U.S. households donate to charity.
- Individuals and families across the U.S. gave $250 billion to charity in 2009.
The giving pledge for the rest of us
When you take the Serious Givers Pledge you promise to focus your giving, investigate before you give, and build stronger relationships with the charities you support. When you live up to the Pledge, you give wisely, seriously, and with purpose.
Serious givers boost the work of strong charities and encourage other charities to grow stronger. Serious givers act to make the world a better place. Together, serious givers can make $250 billion a year an even greater force for good. Together, serious givers can change the world!
Take the Serious Givers Pledge — the giving pledge for the rest of us.
