How much should I donate to charity? Finding a good standard for giving.

Like one of the standards of giving we covered? We have pledges you can take to commit to the standard you think is right for you and help inspire others!

🔸10% Pledge (10% of income until retirement)

💕 Further Pledge (everything you don't need)

🔹Trial Pledge (custom percentage of income, custom amount of time)

💰Wealth-based giving: We now have tools that allow you to factor in your wealth, if you'd like, when making a pledge.

✍️ Bequests: Giving now is important, but why not also leave some money to charity in your will?

Superb video. Love the food for thought. I pledge to give more generously from this day forth with love for the universe in my heart! Keep up the good work brother 🙏🏽

I believe you should first do your research on a specific charity to give to. I have a specific charity I give to monthly. It helps women and children who have been abused mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually, and financially. They help them get on their feet. They help them with applying for jobs and getting a new apartment for them and their children. Once you feel comfortable, give. Happy Friday!!

Bit late to the party, but: One issue with a lot of these principles is that it assumes things will just continue as they are. Even if you can currently easily give away 10% of your income, something might happen that makes you wish you had saved that amount. That is probably preventing a lot of people from diving in. The percentages don't sound like much, but it sure feels like it when seeing the actual sum!

Fantastic video, thank you very much! By the way, the title has a typo.

the tithe existed as a means to give to the church.

There are many different ways to donate. I for example revealed my inventions for free and took nothing. Everybody shall give something. No need to pay if you prefer another way to donate.

Jewish practice is 10% of your income or up to 20% ....Pressure off.
