The North American Division follows the Personal Giving Plan. A key component of the plan is encouraging members to be systematic in giving a percentage of their income to support the worldwide work of the Seventh-day Adventist Church—all through one offering, a World Budget offering. The following information is the North American Division authorized percentage breakdown of the entities and ministries supported by World Budget giving as of January 2018.
