Religious giving refers to the practice of donating money, time, or resources to support religious organizations, charities, or community services. This form of giving is often encouraged by religious teachings and can take various forms, such as tithing, where individuals contribute a percentage of their income, or special offerings during religious services. Many faith traditions, including Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, emphasize the importance of generosity and helping those in need. Religious giving not only supports the operational needs of places of worship but also funds outreach programs, educational initiatives, and humanitarian efforts within the community.
