Pyramid of Giving

The pyramid of giving is a diagnostic tool to analyze the patterns of giving in your organization.

Pyramid of Giving

What percent of your organization’s income comes from the 10% of givers?
What percent of your organization’s income comes from the next 20% of givers?
Create a demographic profile of a typical top 10% giver in your organization.

People’s giving will often tell you something about the quality of your organization’s vision and the leader’s ability to cast that vision. The people can know the organization’s vision only through the vision caster and how that person articulates and frames it.
