The Widow's Mite
$1
/ monthLike the widow in the Temple (Mk 12:41-44), you are giving a single coin (well technically, a dollar or its equivalent). If this is all you are able to give, you are still to be rewarded for your generosity. After all, it is not the gift that counts, but rather the spirit in which it is given! As being The Widow's Mite, you will receive access to digital graphic designs without any watermark, to use as your own. You will also be able to ask a theological research question that will be answered within a week of its submission on the Roman Orthodoxy blog (with your anonymity always protected). Thank you for being a part of the Roman Orthodoxy community!

The Cheerful Giver
$5
/ month"God loves a cheerful giver," we hear in St. Paul's Second Letter to the Corinthians (9:6-7). You are able to give a modest amount, which totals to about the price of a cup of coffee (from Starbucks). Your support of Roman Orthodoxy is substantial enough to help defray costs associated with the website's design, upkeep, and content. Because of your generosity, you will receive benefits fitting to cheerful givers, namely, a "library card" whereby you can borrow one book from a 40-book collection for 30 days (list forthcoming), tutoring on specific philosophical or theological topics (great for students!), and digital copies of unpublished essays and articles that deal with topics on Catholic tradition.

The Tithers
$10
/ month"As soon as the order went out, the Israelites generously gave the firstfruits of their grain, new wine, olive oil and honey and all that the fields produced. They brought a great amount, a tithe of everything." (2 Chr. 31:5) It is clear that you support Roman Orthodoxy by the fact that you are willing to give $10 a month to help. Although the gift of grain, wine, and olive oil would also be wonderful, your financial contribution provides a major (and probably more relevant) help in continuing this project. In giving $10/month, you will receive:
- priority in determining the topics for future YouTube videos/podcasts
- a 'library card' that allows you to borrow one book from my large collection of 80 books every 30 days
- early access to read the first draft of my upcoming book on vocation (Vocation: History, Theology, and Praxis)

The Patron Saint
$15
/ month"Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” (Lk 6:38) You are indeed generous and giving! You are, in my estimation, a true patron of this project, and only a saint could be so kind! As such, you deserve to be interviewed, should you want to promote your own projects and mission through my channel. This would be done through any of Roman Orthodoxy's channels, upon a mutual agreement. Moreover, you will have access to limited Roman Orthodoxy merchandise (coffee mugs and more).
