@DroppingBy, thanks for doing so, but I’m not interested in paying a medieval church tax. If you’re comfortable with it, more power to you, but I’m just taking my baby steps.

I’ll match your challenge and raise you 10% of your income (gross or net … your choice). I’ve found that those who follow the practice of “tithing” are, more often than not, also the most generous when it comes to additional charitable giving. So, for example’s sake, if a “geek” makes 100K per year after taxes, I would ask him/her/herm to consider 10% on that net + your stated goal of $100 per month — regardless of whether or not the person is religiously inclined. Change the world? It’s possible! Like you, I have high hopes for the future of my four children. Hopefully others do, too.
