| 典型会员 | Signatories are billionaires and billionaire couples who have publicly committed to give the majority of their wealth to philanthropy during their lifetime or in their wills. Most publish a signed letter explaining their reasoning. A separate Next Generation group, created in 2014, has more than 300 active members worldwide aged 18 to 75, drawn from the children and grandchildren of signatories; their identities are not disclosed because they did not personally sign the pledge. | Members are described by the organisation as "individual and family wealth holders who deploy their resources to build a world where all people and the planet can thrive". The membership of roughly 300 collectively deploys about $1 billion a year, implying an average well into the millions per member, though the organisation publishes no wealth or giving threshold. |

| Application process | Someone who meets the billionaire threshold and is ready to make the public commitment contacts the Giving Pledge to express interest. There is no published application form, review committee, sponsorship requirement or interview stage. In the early years Gates, French Gates and Buffett recruited signatories directly. Signatories usually publish a letter on the Giving Pledge website when they join. | Membership is by invitation. Interested wealth holders may complete an online application form to open a conversation about membership; the organisation does not publish what happens next, who reviews applications or how long the process takes. Accepted members begin with the Essentials course before moving through the certification pathway. |

The threshold is the billion-dollar net worth test plus willingness to make the commitment publicly. | Not publicly disclosed — Forward Global states only that membership is by invitation only, with no acceptance rate, criteria or review process published. |
