I pledge to give a percentage (3-5% the first year) of my income annually. Each year I want to evaluate my giving capacity and intentions to adjust to make the habit more center in my life. I will work in year one to establish my passion and direction in giving. I want to grow my giving 1-2% per year up to 10% and reevaluate my growth goal once we reach this. If monetary donation is infeasible , I pledge to give time and talent through service, board roles, or other avenues to give to non-profits. I will give time towards our growth goals in the equivalent of that money in my time.

I pledge to donate 5% of my annual salary towards causes supporting people with disabilities, conservation, and first responders. I will evaluate my giving annually at the end of the year to determine whether or not I have the potential to donate additional money in the next year. If I am not able to meet my 5% goal or increase my giving in the next year, I will instead donate my time in the amount that I feels matches what the monetary donation would have been.

I pledge to donate 5% of my annual income, with the goal to increase to 10%, to local and international organizations. This will be reevaluated every year with variations due to big life changes. I will research and educate myself in non-profits dealing with children, education, mental health, and poverty to solidify I am giving in the most beneficial and impactful way. I will work to gain personal relationships within organizations I’m passionate about to grow my network inside the philanthropic community. With this, I will obtain a mentor to help hold myself accountable during my giving journey.

I am dedicated to the mission of serving the less fortunate as well as those who sacrifice their own safety for the safety of others. Financially, I pledge to pool 5% of my yearly income into a separate bank account to be evaluated at the end of the year (including any bonuses). I will either give the saved money immediately or continue to save into the next year in order to make a substantial donation. With regards to giving time, I also pledge to consistently volunteer 5 hours per month. I will also look to engage my community in similar goals and practices to compound my impact. Every 5 years, I will re-evaluate my giving goal, percentage donated, time volunteered, and overall contributions

First and foremost, I pledge to give eagerly and intentionally. I will give with both time and money to organizations that foster tangible impacts, both in my own community and abroad. I will invest in my passions, as this is what generates more love and capacity for giving. Financially, it is my goal to pledge 5-15% of my income to these organizations; physically, it is my goal to volunteer at least once per month. Each year, I will evaluate my giving in order to ensure that it is generating positive outcomes.

After graduation, my giving goal is to give at least 10% of my future income to effective nonprofits and religious organizations in my local community and to create a plan in which I serve at least 3 hours volunteering at a local nonprofit organization each month.
