Ever wonder who you can really give to and
know that your money is being used to really
help others and not going to fund some
organizations big salaries? We did too. So
years ago we looked into this and found some
really good places to give money and time
to. These places use your money to help
others not themselves. If you ever have a
question about how an organization uses
their funds, use this organization to check
them out.

They
rate organizations by how much is actually
spent to help others not themselves.
Below are a few we trust.
Sorry we are not listed since everyone
involved in the Giving Principle volunteers
their time and donate funds to keep GP up
and running. And no, we are not even a 501-C
(non-profit) because we are not looking to
give… for a tax write off. We don’t need or
want your funds. Give elsewhere.
Getting out of debt
To give more you have to have more to give…
right. The best way to do that is to get
yourself out of debt. This in itself is such
a great way to live. Most of your big bills
are gone and ohhh how freeing this is to the
human mind. And yes it is possible. Millions
of people live this way and live a much
better life than those under mounds of
monthly debt.
Here are the tools to become debt free.
We recommend Dave Ramsey’s radio program and
his website resources. His
listening/teaching DVDs are the BEST!

Having a Healthy Perspective/Attitude
Get rid of that ‘woe is me’ attitude that
you may be carrying around. No one is better
at teaching and living this stuff then Nick
Vujicic. And he has a right to say ‘woe is
me’, but he doesn’t.

movies that we recommend about giving
concepts, principles and the giving
lifestyle.

oldie but worth the time. Its a good one to

difference between living a lifestyle of
giving or getting for oneself and the
differences between the two..
