About Venture	About GWWC GWWC is a community of effective givers. We’re on a mission to make giving effectively and significantly a cultural norm. We help donors to find the world’s most pressing problems and identify the best charities working to solve them. We’re best known for The GWWC Pledge. Over 8,000 people people have pledged to give 10% of their lifetime income to the most effective charities. Together we’ve already given over 250 million dollars and pledged over 3 billion. Our History The idea of Giving What We Can came to Oxford philosopher Toby Ord after he was inspired by ethicists such as Peter Singer to pledge a significant proportion of his income to effective charities. In November 2009, Toby and fellow Oxford philosopher Will MacAskill launched Giving What We Can, an organisation dedicated to creating a culture where people are inspired to give to the world’s most effective charities. The pair concluded that a tremendous amount of good could be done by carefully combining the head and the heart to analyse and compare charities based on how effective they are at helping others. Giving What We Can was one of the first organisations in a growing community of like-minded organisations focused on effective altruism: the project of using evidence and reason to figure out how to best help others, and taking action on that basis.
