The Giving Pledge has long been attacked as a toothless promise that has ushered in more publiclity than philanthropy.
Now, the Giving Pledge is thinking about the role it plays — and whether it should subtly push harder on the billionaires who signed it https://www.vox.com/recode/2020/5/13/21254870/bill-gates-coronavirus-giving-pledge-billionaires-gates-foundation">https://www.vox.com/recode/20...

The likelier play from the Giving Pledge is to create a “marketplace” where billionaires could share ideas for what to fund and coordinate giving.
But that would require them to disclose their grand plans to one another — something that might not happen. https://www.vox.com/recode/2020/5/13/21254870/bill-gates-coronavirus-giving-pledge-billionaires-gates-foundation">https://www.vox.com/recode/20...

Bill and Melinda Gates have taken calls in recent weeks from billlionaires asking them to be connected to other signers of the Giving Pledge — and the Gateses have been making these connections by hand.
This "marketplace" is seen as a possible solution. https://www.vox.com/recode/2020/5/13/21254870/bill-gates-coronavirus-giving-pledge-billionaires-gates-foundation">https://www.vox.com/recode/20...
