Yannic’s Birthday fundraiser

A Birthday Gift That Makes a Difference

Dear friends and family,
January 19th is my 27th birthday, and this year I’d like to celebrate in a meaningful way. If you were planning on getting me a traditional birthday gift, I’d ask you to reconsider and participate in my fundraiser to support the effektiv-spenden Fighting Poverty Fund, a cause I deeply believe in.

Why the Fighting Poverty Fund?

The Fighting Poverty Fund supports programs in global health and poverty reduction, based on research by the renowned institute GiveWell.

GiveWell conducts rigorous research to identify interventions that save or improve the most lives per money spent. Their recommended programs focus on proven solutions like malaria prevention and vaccination campaigns, areas where donations can have a large impact. They publish detailed methodology and reasoning, so you can see exactly how they reach their conclusions.

By supporting this fundraising campaign, your donation goes directly to whichever programs GiveWell determines will do the most good, meaning your money reaches those who need it most, in the most effective way possible.

My Commitment

I strongly believe in this cause. This year, I’ve taken the Giving What We Can pledge, committing to donate a small percentage of my income every month to highly effective charities. If you’re interested in learning more and maybe making a long-term commitment yourself, you can explore it here: Giving What We Can

To increase our impact, I will also match your donations up to 200€.

Thank you for considering this meaningful way to celebrate with me. Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a real difference in someone’s life.
