Giving Pledge

Thirty-eight US billionaires have pledged at least 50% of their wealth to charity through a campaign started by investor Warren Buffett and Microsoft founder Bill Gates.

See the list of donors here, and August pledge letters here. Generous and impressive. Thank you!

(But don’t you just love initiatives “specifically focused on billionaires”?)
