Giving Pledge

The Giving Pledge is a commitment by wealthy individuals and families to donate a majority of their fortune to charitable causes, either during their lifetimes or upon their deaths. Initiated by billionaires Warren Buffett and Bill and Melinda Gates in 2010, the pledge encourages philanthropy and aims to foster a culture of giving. Signatories publicly share their giving stories and strategies, inspiring others to contribute as well. The focus is on addressing critical social issues and improving the lives of those in need, promoting the idea that significant wealth carries a responsibility to help others.
