Great work coming up with a list of giving ideas! We’ll put these ideas to good use today by planning some ways to spend out of your Giving Envelope.

Today’s Assignment

  1. Look back on your ideas from yesterday. For each one, reflect on why it’s meaningful to you. And for each one, how much would be a meaningful amount to give?
  2. Pick one of the ideas, and give to that cause. Remember to pick a cause that’s within your budget, and make sure to leave some money in your Giving Envelope so you’ll have space to give spontaneously later this week too.
  3. Tell us how you chose to give in the comments below!

Note for couples: If you find a cause that’s meaningful to both of you, combine forces. It can be super powerful both for the cause you’re supporting and for your relationship with each other. Extra Credit: Chi-Ming and Juliette were on the same page when they decided to give their savings away. Listen to their story.

Happy budgeting,
-The Goodbudget Team

  1. I chose to make a donation to an organization that gives free public art performances because I value art being accessible to everyone!

  2. I am sponsoring a child through Plan international, something I have wanted to do for a long time. It is a monthly contribution

  3. I made constant donations to the church I mostly visit and also keep some margin in my envelope for emergency events: such as Red Cross for Covid and war. And sometimes to a donation program which friends I know forward sicknesses help for their direct friends and relatives.

    Tend to give where I have stronger sympathy and trust

  4. I give to NPR, Save the Children, PBS and Second Harvest. I would like to increase what I give to each of those charities. I value them highly. The first I would like to increase would be PBS because I currently give the least to them.
