The aim of this group is to discuss and develop ways of propogating a 10% pledge meme throughout the masses.

"An experiment in awareness and empathy... a vow to donate 10% of income regularly to help end suffering in this world." What if everyone did this? Mathematically. Picture the aid delivered through intricate branching networks as in the nervous, circulatory, and respiratory systems. Where there is suffering, the body responds...each cell contributing nourishment... Could this be a simple solution to Buckminister Fuller's challenge: “To make the world work for 100% of humanity in the shortest possible time through spontaneous cooperation without ecological offense or the disadvantage of anyone.” ?

Note The term Micro Philanthropy was introduced to us by fellow Omidyar Network member Tom Munnecke as below:

"Micro philanthropy affords each of us the opportunity to contribute to whatever need evokes within us a sense of compassion, and as a scalable phenomenon helps us to participate globally in celebrations and appreciations which can be a contagion of love, or an epidemic of health. Creating an infrastructure which allows a massive amount of small scale interaction can have an explosively powerful effect. A means of supporting micro philanthropy on a global scale could be one of the most powerful uses of Internet technology." -Tom Munnecke, from Towards a Model of Micro Philanthropy
