FAQs

  • Q: Why a pledge? A: To shape our own behavior, to make visible what's happening, and to build social momentum that encourages more flow.
  • Q: How long does this pledge last? A: Our current design is that the pledge describes one (current) calendar year, and is not assumed to renew.
  • Q: Where does my pledge data go? A: Your personalized data, including your name, will be seen only by you and pledge administrators. All financial data and analysis released by the program will be aggregated and/or stringently anonymized.
  • Q: I don't have money to give, what about pledging hours? A: We agree that money absolutely isn't the only form of value! We think scoping our focus to financial giving makes sense for this project at this time, but are very open to shifting direction as the path unfolds.
