EVERYWHEREthe conventional wisdom favors doing your giving anonymously. We are told that being public about donations is tacky or self-aggrandizing –“are you doing it for the cause or for yourself?” In reality, the reverse is true. If what you ultimately care about is the impact, not the narrative, you should be communicating more about your generosity, not less.

If you’ve donated anonymously, it was probably because you genuinely cared about the cause, and would hate to be perceived as showing off. In fact, you may even have chosen anonymity to prove to yourself that you are truly giving for the sake of others, and eliminate the creeping doubt that you might be doing it to look good. These are not, on the face of it, bad reasons for donating anonymously. But it’s very clear that they have nothing to do with impact. Families who received free bed nets to protect them from malaria honestly don’t care if your donation was anonymous. The focus on not being pretentious is a distraction from the goal of impact. Although tradition has engrained in us the vague instinct that helping others implies stepping out of the spotlight, what we really care about is making a difference. Time and again, when asked why they donated time or money to a humanitarian cause, people say “to make a difference” – in other words, impact! Now we know that communicating about your giving increases your impact. So drop the counterproductive modesty; next time you donate, tell your friends. And if you would like to make a more regular commitment, why not put it out in the open with The Life You Can Save’s very own giving pledge?
