Balancing Giving and Saving

Giving is a core value, but so is being a good steward of what you’ve been entrusted with. Instead of seeing generosity and saving as competing priorities, think of them as partners. A strong financial foundation allows you to give freely without fear of the future. Our comprehensive financial planning helps you:

  • Create a clear giving and saving plan that reflects your faith and priorities

  • Invest wisely so your generosity can grow over time

  • Avoid the stress of financial uncertainty by structuring your resources intentionally

Incorporating Giving into Your Spending

A generous heart starts with a plan. If giving isn’t built into your finances, it can easily become an afterthought. We help you create a structured approach to giving—one that’s intentional, sustainable, and deeply rewarding. Through stewardship coaching, we guide you in:

  • Setting up a consistent giving plan that aligns with your cash flow

  • Automating tithing and charitable contributions

  • Exploring tax-smart ways to give, such as donor-advised funds

How Much Should You Save vs. Give?

Striking the right balance depends on your personal goals, obligations, and the calling you feel toward generosity. While there’s no one-size-fits-all answer, a simple breakdown can provide clarity:

  • 10%+ for giving: A starting point for tithing and charitable contributions

  • 20-30% for savings & investments: To build long-term security and financial freedom

  • 50-70% for living expenses: Covering essentials while maintaining financial margin

Stewardship and Building Wealth with Purpose

Money isn’t just about accumulation—it’s about stewardship. A solid financial plan enables you to care for your family, invest in causes that matter, and create a lasting legacy. We help you:

  • Align your investments with your faith and values

  • Understand where your money is going with cash flow tracking

  • Integrate business and personal finances seamlessly

  • Plan for future generations with wisdom and intention
