Should the church I attend in my peak earning years receive way more than the church I attend in retirement? That doesn’t seem right.

To solve this conundrum, I’ve designed an economics-based approach that still tithes lifetime earnings, smooths donations across time, and optimizes taxes along the way.

Consolidating 2-3 years of giving into a single year and granting to charity via a DAF could save you $130k over the course of your working years

Charitably minded Christians could generate as much as $100,000 in tax savings by giving appreciated stocks instead of cash over the course of a lifetime.

My first reaction is frustration when I hear about people donating to their church via credit card (due to the high processing fees). But it turns out this intuition isn’t always right.
