Question

reasons for charitable giving.. why are charities given?

Answer 1

Charitable giving is when people donate money to a cause that they believe in to help an organization reach its goals.

There are many reasons that people give to charities, including but not limited to:

To give back to society as a whole

To support a cause that you truly believe in

To help an organization that has benefited the person or a friends/family member in some way in the past

To support thier Alma Matter

And many more reasons, including some giving due to some guilt that they feel over something in thier past

Answer 2

If 10% of the average $907 that Americans spent on Christmas gifts went to children in need, 42 million children could be helped for an entire year according to statistics provided to me during an interview with World Vision.

This year, I conducted an experiment, and asked for donations to World Vision and Heifer.org instead of Christmas gifts. Many folks simply chose to give me gifts anyway, but many did make donations instead, resulting in $137 going to these charities.

I also have a website where I sell art to support these two Christian organizations. The next time you need art for your walls, please consider my website. My personal favorite of my own work is Sunset over Florence12. Recently my aunt (an amateur photographer) and a friend have donated some of their work for this charitable cause, as well. If you know artists who might wish to join this charity model, please send them my way.

There is a set of 6 world maps on my art for charity website that represents the state of our world in terms of poverty, hunger, disease, education availability of electricity and longevity. You can get a full sized copy for your office or child from my website.
