Ninety-four percent of the Scripture engaged reported giving something to charity in the past year and their median amount of giving was $2,000. By contrast, among the “movable middle” defined as those who score between 70 and 99 on the Scripture Engagement Scale, just 75% donated to charity and their median donation was $288. Less than half of the “Bible disengaged” (43%), referring to those who score less than 70 on the Scripture Engagement Scale, gave to charity and their median amount of giving was $0. This means that more than half of respondents in this category did not donate to charitable causes. https://lnkd.in/ghU_rbzR

It's been almost 10 years since I took the 10% Pledge with Giving What We Can What is it? A public commitment to donate 10% of your income to effective charities for the rest of one's life. Why did I do it? I am privileged in many ways and donating 10% of my income will make a huge difference to 1000s of people, with little impact on my day-to-day living. Feels like a no-brainer! How does it feel? Although I didn't do it for selfish reasons, donating 10% of my income has given me sense of pride and achievement. No matter what else I do with my life, I have donated ten's of thousands of pounds to charities that are considered some of the most effective in the world. I am not saying this to boast - I really am privileged in many ways (e.g. having frugal mindset) so taking the pledge was not as hard for me as I imagine it is for most people.
