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 intended to create a community of believers that celebrate the goodness of God and share in His abundant blessings.
As such, SecondTithe.org features beneficiaries focused on community development. These efforts may be connected to church organizations, but they center around 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.
