[quote=Anonymous]We give about 2% of our HHI. I agree with PP, give by check or ACH so you can deduct it. Most non-Catholic churches run only on the pledges by their members - there's no larger body paying the rent, salaries, etc. This is important to understand for two reasons: 1) It's really helpful for them to know in advance what you'll give, so they can budget; that's why they ask for a pledge. 2) It takes money to make things go, as well as volunteers. Your minister earns a salary, and the church probably hires people (admin, janitorial, tax prep) who need and deserve to be paid, and it may have a mortgage. Imagine those expenses split between the number of people you see on a Sunday, and you'll have an idea of how much to give. [/quote]
