Giving Strategy: Causes & passions guide

Generosity can be expressed in many ways. This guide helps you identify the causes and issues that bring you joy, challenge your heart, or compel you to invest.

Through guided reflection, you will clarify your reasons for giving. From there, you will define the specific charities and ministries God is calling you to support.

Here is what this guide walks you through:

• Reflecting on aspirational statements about your giving and passions
• Marking causes you have supported financially, with time, or with influence
• Identifying causes God may be calling you to support
• Naming the causes you feel most passionate about
• Recording big dreams and matching charities for up to four causes

Once you have reviewed your full list, circle the charities you would like to support in the next 6 to 12 months. This guide is one of five in the Giving strategy series, alongside Biblical foundation, Family, Legacy, and Wealth & resources.
