Part Eight and Nine Tzedakah
Halacha Yomi For Women  It is a great mitzvah to serve as a gabbai tzedakah, i.e. one who encourages others to give tzedakah. This includes anyone who is actively involved in soliciting or enlisting others to give tzedakah, i.e. one who encourages friends or family to contribute to a cause or one who makes phone solicitations on behalf of a dinner. Chazal tell us that the reward of one who encourages others to give is greater than that of the giver.
שו"ע ס' רמט ס"ה
One who wishes to be virtuous should contribute generously towards mitzvos from the best and finest that they have. This means that when giving money, one should give magnanimously. When giving items, one should give from the best items that they have. For example, when donating to a clothing or food drive, one should donate high quality clothing and food.
