Giving To Charity without Donating Money

Men who are dressed in formal suits who knock on everyone’s door from time to time, asking for donation money usually have one clear purpose in mind: that of raising cash for a certain cause. Unfortunately, not everyone can afford to give away money to charity, and often times these people leave empty-handed. In order to prevent that from happening, we should all learn that helping those in needs does not necessarily need to refer to making a financial donation. It is not all about the money, after all.

How charities need to emphasise the value of small donations

Charities should always strive to emphasise how valuable their work is in helping disadvantaged individuals and groups who have nowhere else to turn to. The key to this is to ask to tell people when they give that spare £1 coin in the pocket how far that money will truly go towards a great cause. Start off by pointing out that £1 from the UK can go a long, long way in impoverished African country. Essentially, what charity givers need to be told is that the little money they can spare will prove significantly more valuable in another person’s hands than in their own.

It’s My Generation

In my time working for a franking machine hire company in London, I came across a youth charity called MyGeneration. It has a stated purpose to “break the cycle of poverty, crime and ill-health in struggling communities, through people-centred sustainable change.”

One of the projects they are engaged in caught my eye and I’d like to share with you the work that the group is doing – hopefully inspiring you in your youth groups to take up similar initiatives.

As part of the Delivering Race Equality Action Plan, the Kensington & Chelsea Primary Care Trust (PCT) provided funding to MyGeneration to set up the 4minds Project, a new initiative aiming to improve mental health care and treatment to people from the Black and Minority Ethnic Communities.

A Childs’ Dream

While a lot of organizations make a difference, there are a few who can claim to tug the heartstrings of people. The Make-A-Wish Foundation is one such. Its objective is to grant the wish of children suffering from life threatening medical conditions bringing strength, hope and joy to the child. Today it has grown to be the largest wish granting organization in the world with funds coming in from corporate and well-wishers from people from every sphere of life. The organization strives to make the wish of such children from every background come true; be it the children of agricultural contractors or working professionals.

The Con Part in Charity

Charity stems from the desire of people to help those more unfortunate than themselves. This help involves giving; money, services, and spending time to name a few. Since it is something that is freely given, there are many who are willing to benefit from this noble human sentiment. They come in all shapes and sizes; some in tattered clothes to show off their poverty and hence gain eligibility while others in natty linen suits that imply theirs is a voice that is well worth the time spent listening to. All come with the singular intent of getting through to the generosity of others using their acting skills, or to put it bluntly, their con skills.

Enigin Scam Busters is a no-brainer for Charities!

Many charities are now using things like Enigin scam busters to assist in their energy consumption monitoring. With renewable energy and saving money on utilities at the top of the agenda for most sectors, it makes sense that charities are focusing heavily on this area. Companies like Enigin who are specifically focused on helping businesses and organisations reduce their energy consumption can be of great help to the charity sector particularly through this time of austerity.

The act of giving

The idea of giving to charity is a noble one. In fact, it promotes a feel good factor in the mind of the giver. And rightly too, as it is our duty to help the less privileged than ourselves. This desire stems from a deep rooted feeling of wanting to help others less fortunate than ourselves without getting anything in return. Though money is the primary thing that is given out, it can also be other things like clothes, food or for that matter other everyday things, like school coat hooks.

Animal Equality

If you are looking for a new charity to support, then what could be better than supporting a charity that sets out to end the suffering, abuse, poor treatment and murder of millions each year? In my opinion, that seems like just about the best mission plan possible. The reason that some people do not agree is because they are trying to prevent the pain, suffering and deaths of animals, and not humans.

Is there a heaven for me?

There is no doubt that if you would see some of the poorest people living in India and China, you will start wondering if these two countries are really growingly economically at an unbelievable rate. It’s true that both of these countries are two of the biggest economies in the world, but difference of wealth between the rich and the poor is also unbelievable in these countries. Poverty, illiteracy and child labour can be found in all the cities in India and China, especially in the capital cities Delhi and Beijing.
