In Episode 4 of this Faith and Finance Top 10s season, Simon and Bex discuss their Top 10 Tips for Giving and Being Generous.

Some key points of interest covered in this episode include the following:

  • Simon’s first top tip for giving and being generous is to give first and then budget with what is left. [01:17]
  • Top tip number two is to decide how much to give before we decide to whom we wish to give. [04:34]
  • Thirdly, Simon explains the principle of giving regularly but also on an ad hoc basis. [06:13]
  • Next, Simon talks about the benefits of being deliberate in the act of giving even when it happens through an automated process. [07:01]
  • Simon highlights the importance of using the likes of Gift Aid and automated money transfer options (such as standing orders and direct debits) to help us to be as efficient as possible in our giving. [09:37]
  • Another important element to prioritise is to review our giving on a regular basis. [11:29]
  • Simon explains why he would suggest that we commit ourselves to giving to a cause for a specific period of time and communicate that arrangement clearly to those to whom we are giving. [13:13]
  • Simon encourages us to include others in our giving endeavours so that they can learn from that involvement and can be inspired to go on to experience for themselves the joy and benefits of being generous. [15:26]
  • Simon’s penultimate tip is to be inquisitive about the charities to which we are giving and to develop a meaningful connection with them. [18:06]
  • Simon’s final top tip is to recognise that giving isn’t just about money; there are many ways in which we can make significant contributions to the charities that we wish to support. [19:49]
