According to past studies, at least 30% of annual giving comes in the month of December. This year Giving Tuesday falls on December 1st, giving the final fundraising push for the year a good boost.
One reason December is such a big month in giving is due to the generosity of small business owners. As they determine their profitability for the year, and finish their year-end tax planning, entrepreneurs often make their biggest gifts at year-end.
1 Timothy 6:18 teaches, “Instruct them to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share.”
For small business leaders, there are many ways to be generous. You can give bonuses to employees, provide for some of your community needs, or even give to your favorite teaching ministry.
