Summary

Giving What We Can presents its methodology and findings for evaluating the impact of its pledge-based effective giving movement, including metrics on donations influenced, cost-effectiveness, and member behavior.

Key Points

  • Outlines GWWC's framework for measuring impact, including donations tracked, pledge fulfillment rates, and cost per dollar donated to effective charities.
