This National study entitled “Exploring Orthodox Generosity: Giving in US Orthodox Parishes”. Both Clergy and Laity have been invited to participate in this unique project. The following are a few examples of questions that the study will explore:

• Why do people give or don’t give to parishes?
• Are Church members satisfied with how “money matters” are handled in their parishes?
• How do parishioners make decisions on how much, when, and why to give?
• What causes “boost” people’s generosity and encourage greater giving?

The study is being conducted as an online survey.  The study is anonymous, no names are asked and no individual responses will be shared with anyone.
