Proportional Giving Guide
“For it is in giving that we receive” – St. Francis of Assisi
Giving proportionately means offering a percentage of your income with the goal of the “tithe” – giving 10%. Begin your stewardship journey where you are able, and aim to increase that percentage each year. If giving 10% seems daunting, please consider starting with a pledge of just 2% of your income. And if you are already working toward the goal of giving 10%, we hope you will increase your pledge each year.
For an estimate of what your pledge would be, here is a chart showing proportional giving at various income levels and percentages:
| Annual Gross Income | 2% | 4% | 6% |
| $10,000 | $200 | $400 | $600 |
| $20,000 | $400 | $800 | $1,200 |
| $30,000 | $600 | $1,200 | $1,800 |
