Giving Pledge announces 11 new signatories
The Giving Pledge has announced the addition of 11 individuals to its list of signatories, bringing to 241 the total number of those pledging to give the majority of their wealth in support of philanthropic causes.
New signatories include Eagle Capital Management co-founder Ravenel B. Curry III (United States); Snowflake co-founder Benoit Dageville and his wife, Marie-Florence (France, U.S.); Zerodha co-founder Nikhil Kamath (India); CDW founder Michael Krasny (U.S.); GitHub co-founder Tom Preston-Werner and his wife, Theresa (U.S.); former YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki and her husband, Dennis Troper (U.S.); and Tiny Capital co-founder Andrew Wilkinson and his wife, Zoe Peterson (Canada).
Susan Wojcicki’s sister, Anne Wojcicki, co-founder of 23andMe, signed the Giving Pledge in 2022. In December, Sam Bankman-Fried, founder of FTX, was removed from the pledge following his arrest on fraud charges, MarketWatch reported.
“As philanthropists, it is critical that we learn both from our successes and our setbacks, allow our strategies to evolve as necessary, and above all, develop solutions with partners instead of for them,” said Melinda French Gates, who launched the campaign with Bill Gates and Warren Buffett in 2010.
