Proportional Giving Guide

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:

"What I think is interesting is that the people I've talked to here - people of moderate means and people who have very substantial means - have all gone through a similar process to figure out what's right for them. They have also felt very joyful when they have made that decision and have begun to make a pledge to Trinity Church."
