The Maiser Pledge is a commitment to donate 10-20% of your income to support organizations that assist underprivileged individuals, without charging for their services. At The Balance, we rely entirely on donations and are more concerned about the cause than making money. We believe that if you choose to donate, your contributions should go to organizations that offer their support freely, without charging underprivileged individuals or their families for services such as rehabilitation costs, intensive therapy costs, tuition, and other similar expenses.

Your pledge ensures that every dollar directly supports those in need, without any portion going towards administrative fees or costs that burden the recipients. By focusing on nonprofits that do not charge for their services, we maintain a direct and meaningful impact. If you're not donating to The Balance, we encourage you to support organizations that share our values of giving without taking. Join us in making a true difference by helping those who need it most, without adding financial strain on those already struggling.
