How Much Do You Expect me to Give?

Our suggested gift at the end of the Easter Season is $2 per day for each day of the Easter Season ($100 total) or .7% of your income ($70 for every $10,000 you make).

The Millennium Development Goals are designed for individuals, organizations and governments to give .7% (that is seven tenths of one percent) of their income or budget or GDP toward the goals.

.7% is equal to $70 for every $10,000 you make. So if you make $30,000 a year that is $210 per year or just over $4 for every day of the Easter Season.

We ask you to reflect during the Easter Season about your personal commitment. If you are already giving .7% this may be an opportunity to 'dedicate' that giving for a portion of the year or to double it. If you've been thinking about giving .7% and haven't yet this may be an opportunity to put it in your budget for 50 days (and hopefully continue to do so afterward). Perhaps this is an opportunity to give your entire year's .7% in one lump sum.
