voluntary giving
Freely offered gift
Voluntary giving is the act of donating money, goods, or time freely, without obligation or compulsion.
The phrase emphasizes that contributions come from personal choice rather than legal requirement or social pressure: The church relies entirely on voluntary giving.
It appears frequently in discussions of charity, philanthropy, and religious tithing.
