Well, helping others without any reason can spark the side of your brain that creates the feeling of pleasure. Also, donation for a good cause will give you a sense of responsibility for society and make you feel happy and satisfied from the inside.
Help others in need:
Well, we know that we don’t live in a perfect world and definitely, you will never get a perfect time to give, but there are some people who actually need your help. No matter how good or bad your country’s economy is there will be some people who are in need of help. You should not wait for a reason to help someone, if you are passionate about giving back and helping others to improve their life then you can start from now onwards. The more you help others the better you will understand the world.
Get a tax-deduction:
When you provide a donation to a charity or a non-profit organization, you can write off donations on your tax returns. This is the government’s way to provide an appreciation for your good deeds. When you donate to a charity that is an IRS- approved one, then you can get tax-deduction on your charity. But there are some rules provided by the government that you will need to follow to obtain your tax deduction.
Bring more meaning to your life:
When you donate to a charity or a non-profit organization, there you will meet many other people with similar ideologies and similar mindsets, and also the same cause. This will offer you an opportunity to establish a strong network with others who share the same cause. Also helping others will give a new meaning to your life.
Motivates your friends and family:
When you are passionate enough to help others by donating to a charity, this will encourage your friends and family members to share your cause to donate to the charity. When your entire family is connected with your cause then it will create a healthy environment at your home. Not just poverty, you can also help in child education to give these children a beautiful future to live.
