The [online and in-person events](https://www.givingwhatwecan.org/events#giving-season-2022-events)
are being held in Toronto, Vancouver, São Paulo, Sydney, Melbourne, Munich, Heidelberg,
Estonia, and Italy among others.

The day is organised by a group of organisations including UK and US based [Giving What We Can](https://www.givingwhatwecan.org/),
Effective Altruism Australia, and EffectivSpenden.org in Germany.

Giving What We Can is a community of people who have pledged to [give a significant portion](https://fundraising.co.uk/2020/09/28/over-5000-people-commit-to-giving-what-we-can-pledge/)–
10% – of their income to improving the lives of others. The organisation was founded
in 2009 following Oxford University philosopher Toby Ord’s decision to give more
than half of all his future earnings to effective charities. There are now over 
9,000 members in 97 countries, from a range of backgrounds, ages, professions, incomes
and philosophies. So far, they have donated almost $300mn and have pledged over 
$3bn.
