The Giving Pledge, initiated in 2010 by Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, encourages wealthy individuals to donate at least half their wealth to philanthropy. A report by the Institute for Policy Studies indicates that the initiative has largely gone unfulfilled, with signatories amassing more wealth over time. Among 256 pledgers, only Laura and John Arnold have given half their wealth, while only eight of deceased U.S. pledgers met their commitments. The pledge is a moral commitment, not legally enforced, aimed at transforming billionaire philanthropy.
The Giving Pledge, launched in 2010 by Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, invites the wealthiest individuals to commit to giving away at least 50% of their wealth.
The IPS report 'The Giving Pledge at 15' reveals that most pledgers have not fulfilled their commitments and many have become wealthier since joining.
Only one couple of the living 2010 Pledgers, Laura and John Arnold, have given away half their wealth, while only eight of 22 deceased U.S. Pledgers fulfilled their pledges.
The pledge is a public commitment without legal obligations, aimed at inspiring generosity and redefining billionaire philanthropy.
