The Waldensian Church's own page inviting members to support it financially, describing giving as free, responsible and proportional to income rather than a fixed due, and distinguishing this member-level mechanism from the otto per mille tax-designation income the church directs entirely to humanitarian and social projects rather than to local worship.

Reliability Tier1
Tier 1: the Waldensian Church's own page on member financial support, read directly. States the church has chosen "la via della compartecipazione economica libera e responsabile" (the path of free and responsible economic participation), describes contributions as "personale e proporzionale al reddito" (personal and proportional to income) with no stated percentage, and frames giving as gratitude rather than obligation ("la Chiesa mi interessa, la Chiesa sono anch'io," "I care about the Church, I too am the Church"). Distinguishes this member-giving mechanism explicitly from otto per mille, which the same page states funds humanitarian, social and cultural projects rather than local church operations. No single publication date given; an evergreen page; the absence is noted rather than left silent. Citation
