Tithing and Giving

Client Centered

When it comes to the matter of tithing and giving, especially in a values’ centered environment, it can sometimes be difficult for many people to know what to do or where to start.

Worse, many people feel guilty, frustrated, or unsure about how much they are currently giving or not giving. Or where to go to obtain advice on giving, particularly when larger amounts of resources or wealth are potentially involved.

Client Centered

How do we evaluate our current giving? What should we be giving and to who?

How much money, assets, and time should we be giving?

How do we develop a customized personal or business generosity plan?

What do faith traditions say about giving?


Client Centered

Can I include a business, real estate holding, or other asset in my giving? 

How do we come up with a specific generosity plan for our family?

Is my generosity plan synchronized with my lifestyle and values?

How do I make sure my giving plans have eternal impact?

Should tithing and giving be on gross or net income?

These are just some of the many questions Gibborim Financial helps clients answer. We believe every client regardless of income level, current financial disposition, or religion, should have an intentional family or business generosity plan.

Principles

  • Giving breaks the spirit of money/materialism
  • Giving is key to becoming financially free
  • Giving should be a part of every financially mature person’s journey in life
  • Giving should be done regularly and cheerfully
  • Giving should be proportionate to income, and “10%” is almost never the right amount

Reasons

  • Advance causes that connect to deeply held values
  • Recognition and affirmation that we are trustees over our assets and that we can’t take them with us when we die
  • To better understand, experience, and reflect the power of love and compassion
  • To positively impact people and causes cared about, now, in the future, and for eternity

To move from minimal, sporadic, and inefficient tithing and giving it is imperative to create and execute a custom generosity plan. Further, to optimize family or business giving it is vital to also incorporate systematic, intentional, and coordinated efforts into the generosity plan.
