You people are crazy.

About $3500, my income is about $90K, but when they did a drive to buildout extra space, I gave a lot more.

We give about $20K a year. HHI = $1M+

I give 40 dollars a week. HHI=190k

That's why it's tithes and offerings - you can always give more! There are even some well-to-do folks that "reverse tithe" where they live off 10% of their income and give away the rest (to church and other organizations).

We give the equivalent of 8-9% of our income post-taxes.

$20/week in the collection plate, plus the individual giving opportunities (fundraisers, Easter flowers, Christmas greenery, etc).

It’s nowhere near 10 percent of my income, but it’s what I can afford right now.

UU and when we were members we gave about $6000 a year.

8-9 % of income

Zero. I’ve lost all faith in any religious organization to honesty handle money.

Wow, really generous. What is your HHI?

I give like $60-$100 a month

Nothing.

$750/week

Great. Thanks for telling us.

How much money do you donate to your church on an annual basis?

We used to be Catholic, and then became Episcopalian. Both churches asked for about 10% of our income.

We gave very little to the Catholic Church; only cash donations in the collection basket, probably no more than $100 a year.

At our Episcopal church, we donate about $1200 a year.
