My giving goal is to give joyously, eagerly, and compassionately. My hope is to give monthly to a local organization and a national organization that I get the honor of learning about and in turn supporting their mission. My goal is that the numbers for monetary giving are based on the needs of the organizations, and my ability to responsibly devote a share of my money. I want to give to organizations that are encountering people in every area of life, caring for their needs in well-rounded ways, and devoted to showing them love. I also want to hear testimonials from the organizations I give to, whether this be by volunteering with local organizations and talking to leadership and participants, or personally connecting with national organizations through media or their contacts. I want to hear stories of the good that comes from giving, and I want to share these stories with my community as an aspect of giving.
