Giving Examples

Delaying personal expenses

  • An individual is planning to purchase a car in early 2025. His monthly payment was expected to be $350. He has decided to delay that purchase for 18 months and give $350 a month to ForAustin ($350x18)- $6,300
  • He is also able to give $1,500 from a savings account.
  • He believes through faith that God will also enable him to give another $1,000 over the next 2 years to For Austin.
  • 18 month pledge total: $8,800 = ($350 × 18) + $1,500 + $1,000

Making small budgetary changes

  • A family of 5 is living paycheck to paycheck with no savings. However, after much consideration, they realize that they eat out once a week as a family for a cost of about $75 per meal. They have decided to eat out every other week instead. The dad was also given a $100 a month pay raise. They decide to give $75 of that amount to For Austin each month and use the rest for savings.
    ‍
  • Savings from not eating out: $150/month
    ‍
  • Increase from raise: $75/month
    ‍
  • 18 month pledge total: $4,050 = ($150+$75) x 18

Increased giving with Increased income

Many times bonuses or raises can be anticipated in advance. By choosing to delay lifestyle increases, families can commit this increased income as a part of their pledge with For Austin.
