GIVE SMALLER AMOUNTS CONSISTENTLY: Weekly, semi-monthly or monthly giving allows larger goals to be reached in smaller steps. 

SACRIFICE A VACATION: Choose a “stay-cation” this year and give the savings as an offering.

CHANGE SPENDING HABITS: Free up funds which are currently going to other things like cell service or cable to increase giving to God’s work.

DEVOTE YOUR TAX RETURN: Decide to give God the money returned to you from your tax return each year.

MAKE LIFESTYLE ADJUSTMENTS: Diverting funds from the extras of life – entertainment, dining out, dues, subscriptions, gifts, etc., can allow you to make a difference in the lives of others.

TRANSFER YOUR CHARITABLE GIVING: Take a look at other places where you give and choose to give to Unstoppable instead.

INCREASE YOUR PERCENTAGE: Choose to give 1, 2 or 5% more of your income than you did last year in order to give significantly.  Perhaps this is the first time to establish your giving level at what the Bible calls a “tithe” (10%).

DELAY PURCHASES: Don’t buy that new “thing” that you really don’t need – or perhaps downgrade in order to give.

MAKE IT A FAMILY AFFAIR: Challenge the kids to give from their allowance, chores, baby-sitting or part-time jobs so everyone in the family can participate.

COMMIT YOU TAX BREAKS: Decide to give the amount of the tax breaks you will receive over the next three years from your commitments.

CLEAN HOUSE: Sell some stuff, have a garage sale, put things on e-bay or craigslist and give the cash to expand ministry.

INVEST YOUR INTEREST: Choose to give the interest you make in investments over the next 3 years to Unstoppable instead of re-investing.

DEDICATE YOUR RAISE OR BONUS: Commit any expected increase in your income to growing your “standard of giving” to God’s kingdom.

CONTINUE COMPLETED PAYMENTS: Divert funds from recently paid off items like car payments and make those payments  to Unstoppable instead.

PLEDGE SAVINGS AND ANNUITIES: Take from what you already have saved for special projects, retirement or rainy day funds to give sacrificially.

GIVE FROM YOUR BUSINESS: Choose to give from your business and not just your personal funds.

DONATE GIFTS IN KIND: Give stocks, bonds, collections, cars, campers, boats, jewelry, time shares, etc. – anything of value that would be better dedicated to God’s work in our community.
