4 Ways to Be Generous This Summer
At Ten Talents Foundation, we believe generosity is more than a financial decision—it’s a way of life. And while summer brings sun, rest, and reconnection, it’s also the perfect time to live generously and reflect God’s heart in tangible ways.
Here are 4 simple ways to practice generosity this summer:
1. Give through a Donor Advised Fund (DAF)
A Donor Advised Fund lets you give to multiple causes from one simple account—on your schedule. Whether you’re supporting a local ministry or responding to a global need, a DAF helps your generosity go further, with tax advantages that make it even more impactful. Start here →
2. Include a Charitable Bequest in Your Estate Plan
You don’t have to be wealthy to leave a legacy. One simple way to make an eternal impact is by adding a charitable bequest—a gift to a nonprofit written into your will or trust.
This allows you to support ministries and causes you care about, even after your lifetime. Whether you give a specific amount, a percentage, or an asset like property, legacy giving helps your values live on through strategic generosity.
3. Give Your Time
Generosity isn’t just about financial giving. You can make a meaningful impact by volunteering at a local nonprofit, helping with a community outreach event, or even just showing up for someone who needs support.
Acts of presence—like listening to a friend, spending time with a neighbor, or praying with someone—can offer encouragement and remind others they’re not alone. Small, intentional moments can leave a lasting impression.
4. Have a Family Conversation About Giving
Summertime often brings families together—use it as a chance to talk about your values and how you want to make an impact together. Whether it’s setting up a family donor advised fund, talking about causes your family is passionate about and wants to include in an estate plan, or choosing a nonprofit you will volunteer with as a family, these conversations can spark a legacy of generosity across generations.
However you choose to give this summer, do it with intention—and watch how your generosity can plant seeds of hope, joy, and eternal impact.
