tithing

Tithing is the practice of giving a portion—typically 10%—of one’s income or resources to a religious organization or cause. It is often rooted in spiritual or religious beliefs, seen as an act of gratitude, trust, and support for the community or divine work. Tithing encourages generosity and stewardship, helping sustain religious activities, charities, and communal needs. While traditionally associated with Christianity, similar concepts exist in other faiths. It is a voluntary and personal practice, varying based on individual conviction and financial ability.
