[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. This is really interesting, thanks all for sharing.

1.  I always tip, 20-25%

2.  I don’t consider giving to candidates as charity, but my husband is super into police so we probably give roughly $5-10k per year to candidates (or more depending on the cycle)

3.  I appreciate the non judgmental tone of most of you. Like I said, I give to any friend/colleague/family member raising money for any cause. But my amounts are in line with what others are giving - typically between $50 and $200.

I appreciate everyone’s honesty. I see a lot of posts here where people breakdown their budget and few have charity listed. I wasn’t raised by parents who valued or prioritized charity so it doesn’t come naturally to me to give unless I’m asked.

Given my HHI I intend to give more, and more intentionally. [/quote]

OP, I have a friend who works with non profits who once told me that the best thing you can do is choose an org you trust and respect and then commit to giving monthly/annually without earmarking the dollars for anything in particular.  That way they can use your donation most effectively because (a) they can budget for it and (b) they can use it for whatever is most urgent without restrictions.  It’s also convenient for you because you can set it at the rate you feel is comfortable/appropriate for charitable giving and not stress about it after that.[/quote]
