""In creating the Giving Pledge, Warren Buffett and Bill and Melinda Gates have not just encouraged us to invest in problem-solving,""
""They have also brought something approaching the scientific method to philanthropy.""
""More than 99% of my wealth will go to philanthropy during my lifetime or at death,""
""Measured by dollars, this commitment is large. In a comparative sense, though, many individuals give more to others every day.""
The Giving Pledge, launched in 2010 by Warren Buffett and Bill and Melinda Gates, asks the wealthiest individuals to commit most of their fortunes to philanthropy. More than 250 signatories from 30 countries have redirected hundreds of billions of dollars toward scientific research, education, humanitarian relief, and other causes. Signatories submit public letters explaining motivations, with no legal enforcement, timeline, or mandated causes. The initiative fosters a community that shares strategies, emphasizes learning and experimentation, and encourages rigorous, evidence-driven approaches to giving while reflecting a humility about wealth and responsibility.
