What is Micro-giving and Why You Should Do It

Money: Faith & Finance

Key Takeaways:

• Micro-giving Explained: The concept involves making small, yet frequent, charitable donations that collectively make a significant impact.
• Balance Giving Priorities: We are encouraged to assess whether to direct funds to our churches or to immediate relief efforts, reflecting broader spiritual and community priorities.
• Create a Giving Portfolio: Similar to investment diversification, this strategy helps allocate donations across numerous causes to maximize impact.
• Practicality Over Size: Intention behind any contribution is more important than the donation amount, as small, consistent gifts can culminate in substantial aid.
• Spiritual and Social Impact: Micro-giving is a method to engage more deeply with faith-driven generosity while addressing pressing societal challenges.

• "Micro-giving could be a way of thinking; if a lot of people gave a little bit, that's better than less people giving a lot." – Pete Burrows.
• "There are charities, people less fortunate than us, that need our help and they need our money." – Pete Burrows.
