How I approach giving

Three rules I will not break.

Tzedakah (צְדָקָה). In Hebrew, the word for charity is the same word for righteousness and justice. It is not a spontaneous act of goodwill but an obligation, a duty to do what is right regardless of one's own means, and to help others build the means to stand on their own. That is how I understand giving.

01

Service before scale.

Local schools, neighborhood institutions, and the people in front of me come first. Marquee causes wait their turn.

02

Verifiable or it does not exist.

If a third party does not confirm a gift or an hour of service, it does not live on this site. Memory is not a citation.

03

Quiet record, not press.

The work shows up where it is needed. The record speaks where the press does not reach.

Giving timeline

A record, year by year.

Dated, verifiable milestones in community giving. Each entry is documented on this site or a third-party record.
