The more I have give, the more my bank account has benefited. For me, the more I trust God with my finances the more I benefit. Benefit isn’t exactly the right word but give and trust, you will see the positive results. Not forcing this upon anyone but this has been true to me and my beliefs.

Love this! I sometimes forget that there are other people in this industry that hold similar values

Muslims holding above a certain threshold of wealth are required to donate 2.5% of the cash value of their assets every year. I practice it and like it because it becomes a habit, it keeps me humble about the transience of my worldly possessions and I can see the impact it directly has on people (I usually try and give it directly to deserving families in third world countries)
On a monthly basis outside of that I don't have a set figure but I usually try and give about 5%

Have to say, very surprised by people's responses on this thread in the best way possible.

Z4. Even if only the charitable replied I'm still surprised to see there were that many

About 2-3% in cash and another 8-10% in time volunteering - the latter is more satisfying

3% of gross. Split across the food bank, SPCA, ACLU, and TNC. $100 drops to a bunch of others like NPR, shelters, local high school, etc...

At least 10% a year. Very Sr.

I give 50 dollars to animal shelter every year. That’s about it

0%. I give time.
