5 Tips to Decide Which Charities to Donate To
The decision to make a donation to charity is a very noble endeavor. However, regardless of the size of your donation, a number of factors must be taken into consideration to make sure that your charitable contribution aligns with the principles, value system and passions you truly care for.
A good place to begin is to reflect
back on your own life to see what were the moments that really shaped the
course of your life. What were the contributions that made the biggest
difference in your career. Whether it was a travel experience, or a college
scholarship, or a book donation, find a way to give back in the same way that
you received help once in your life. It will make sure that the experience of
giving is one that is personally meaningful to you.
It’s also important to not get
overly sentimental in your decision making when it comes to your charitable
donations. Be wary of smart advertising campaigns that are manipulative and
overly sensational. Also, avoid making impulsive decisions in the aftermath of a
natural disaster or accident. It’s good to wait for a little while to let the
situation fully develop, and effective charitable decisions to emerge that will
make a lasting impact in the lives of those who were affected.
The best charities donate to other local charities
to channel their funds in purposeful ways. When you donate locally, you can see
first-hand the positive changes your donations have brought about.
