Do you agree?

It is important to help others.

When people are in need and we can help them, we think that we should.

People are of equal moral value.

Everyone has an equal claim to being happy, healthy, and fulfilled.

Our resources are limited.

Each of us only have finite time, money, and other resources.

Helping more is better than helping less.

All else being equal, we should save and improve more lives rather than fewer.

Most of us believe that it is important to help others, we value the lives of others and care about their wellbeing. When we see someone in need, we want to help them. If we are made aware of a problem we want to find solutions.

Most of us also believe that it is good to be impartial – that we should help people based on objective criteria, rather than on the basis of bias, prejudice, or preferring to benefit one person over another for improper reasons. As caring people faced with lots of opportunities to help others it can be overwhelming to see so many pressing problems in the world.

The last two statements are the most trivially true - it’s true on its face that our resources are finite; and it seems hard to disagree that helping more is better than helping less. However, the combination of these two values is profound - because if helping more is better than helping less, and we only have finite resources to help with, then using those resources efficiently becomes a morally good thing. That is, it’s morally good to use the resources we have to make as big a difference as possible.

Only 35% of donors do ANY research!

63% of those donors only do research to validate a choice they have already made.

Only 3% of donors do comparative research between nonprofits.

Most donors believe that the best nonprofits are only 1.5-2.5x better than average nonprofits.

Charitable Giving

Deep Dive

Research (conducted by GuideStar and Hope Consulting) suggests that only one in three donors do any research at all when giving to a nonprofit. We’ve all had a colleague running a marathon, or been to a birthday party where they ask us to donate in lieu of a birthday present, and just given $20 because it’s the right thing to do.

In addition, of those donors who actually do research, two thirds are just trying to validate a choice they have already made. So maybe I say “please don’t give me a birthday present this year, please donate to One for the World”, and you look at our website, maybe check out our financial filings with the IRS. But ultimately you’re just validating the choice you’ve already made.

By contrast, only 3% of donors do comparative research on nonprofits and give based on relative performance. And that’s completely wild! Because we don’t treat any other economic decision like this. We don’t buy a car, or a phone, or book an AirBnB without looking at our options - I don’t even buy a coffee without comparing stars on Google Maps. But we’ll give to charity without any scrutiny at all!

14,500 children under the age of 5 are killed by extreme poverty each day

Extreme poverty is defined as consuming less than $2.15 of resources per day

This forces people to make impossible choices, which leads to completely preventable deaths

If a plane crashed every hour, on the hour, all year, that would kill ~14,500 people/day

�

Why give at all?

Around 800m people live in extreme poverty - that is, they consume less than $1.90 of resources per day. Imagine trying to do that in the city you live in. It sounds impossible, right? Well, it is impossible.

So people have to choose between sending their kids to school, or getting treated for a long term health condition. And then between getting treatment or improving their house so they don’t get sick again. And then between improving their house and getting some fertiliser to grow more food. And so on and so on and so on. And at some point, in this endless cycle of impossible choices, they aren’t able to get everything they need, and so people die.

Now 14,500 children is an impossible number to conceptualise, so how can we do that? Well, one really bleak way is the following. Imagine a plane. Now imagine every seat on the plane has a child under 5 sitting in it. And now imagine that plane crashes and everyone on board is killed. If that happened every hour, all day, every day this year - that would kill around 14,500 children a day, or 5.5m per year.

Of course if that actually happened, we would ground every plane on earth until we worked out why, hold congressional hearings, change the law and do whatever it took to stop it ever happening again. But because it happens a long way away, to people without any voice or power, out of sight - it’s not something we think about.

Now this could be a source of despair. But the good news is, we can prevent every single one of those deaths. We just need to give, and to give effectively.

The Case for the

1 % Pledge with

One for the World

That’s where the One for the World pledge comes in! Here at [CHAPTER], we’ve pledged to donate 1% or more of our income to these highly effective charities, after we graduate and start working. So, I’m class of [YOUR GRADUATING CLASS], so I’ve set my pledge to start in [e.g., October of graduating year].

It’s great because it’s super flexible, and gives us access to these really incredible opportunities to make a difference on our terms -- I’ll only start donating once I’m ready. And more importantly, 1% of [SCHOOL’S] graduating salary can save 5-6 lives over the course of our careers -- at the cost of just a few cups of coffee per week! That’s on top of the impact we’ll have in our careers, and with other donations that we make.

Like any other monthly subscription, you can log into your account and change the start date or amount at any time.

Regular donors give 42% more per year and up to 440% more in a lifetime!

It’s habit forming for you and predictable income for the nonprofit!

Much more effective in your philanthropy!
