The “first tithe” belongs to God and is intended to directly support the ecclesiastical structure of the church, which we wholly support.
The “second tithe” (Deuteronomy 14:22-27) is meant to create a community of believers who celebrate the goodness of God and share His abundant blessings.
As such, SecondTithe.org features beneficiaries focused on community development. These efforts are often connected to religious organizations, but they center on Christian education, family services, public safety, disaster relief, volunteerism, youth development, housing and shelter, rehabilitation, and other faith-based community efforts.
Here is a list of beneficiaries that SecondTithe.org has vetted and approved as faith-based charitable organizations and efforts that focus on these shared values.
