Research Before Donating to Charity

Giving Back
Giving to charity is a wonderful way to show support for those in need.
Choosing what charity to give to isn't always easy. It can be even
harder when you are afflicted with the many calls and letters from
charities asking for your donation. Don't allow anyone to push you into
a certain charity. That is a choice that you must make for yourself. It
can be hard to say no but the unfortunate truth is that you can't say
yes to them all. By making it a point to get involved in your
charitable donation, you guarantee that it is going exactly where you
want it to.

Your charities donations solve the problems of those less fortunate than yourself? We all like to think that we are doing something to help but first you need to be shown the problem before you can act effectively.

Why Raise Money for Charity?

Why are there people that dedicated their whole lives to non-profit
organizations? Why are some highly educated and intelligent people
willing to work for a pittance (or even nothing) to support a charity?
Why would a doctor go and work in Africa for no wages when he or she could be earning a six figure sum back home and living a very comfortable life? And why do so many successful entrepreneurs donate so much of their income to charitable causes?

Have you ever wondered why the rich get richer, and the poor become
even poorer? Robert T. Kiyosaki, a fourth generation Japanese-American,
had been thinking of the same thing since he was young. His real dad
was highly educated and intelligent. He had a Ph.D., went to Ivy League
schools, and became head of education in the state of Hawaii. Yet
Kiyosaki saw how his dad struggled to pay the bills.
Kiyosakiís best friend, on the other hand, had a dad who did not go past eighth grade. Yet he became one of the richest men in Hawaii, and left tens of millions of dollars to his family, the church, and his favorite charities. Kiyosaki calls him his rich dad.
How does a man become rich? Clearly, it is not earning all those college and postgraduate degrees. In Kiyosakiís best-selling book Rich Dad poor Dad, he shares the practical lessons he learned from his two dads on achieving wealth.

I always feel guilty that I can't give to charity more than I do. But,
honestly, my budget is trimmed down to the bare minimums and our income
just meets those obligations with pennies to spare. Still, I feel that
I should be giving something. After all, I know that there are other
families struggling much harder than ours to simply provide the very
basic needs of survival.

Do you wake up every morning and say "I''m going to change the world
today!"? Most of us would feel a bit grandiose saying that, yet many of
us really DO want to change the world, we DO want to make a difference.

What is the best way to get connected? Being Interactive. This means you get
involved and stay involved with people without there having to be a problem or
situation that gets you started. You will then know what is happening around
you. You will know your neighbor’s names. What concerns your friends and community
members have. And at the same time, don’t be shy about your own goals and
needs. Make sure other people know what you are thinking and planning. The more
you know about your community and the more people know about your goals, the
more successful they and you will be.

Even
in these days of multi-tasking, it may seem strange to put exercise and
community together in the same sentence. How we accomplish that is when my
husband, Steve, and I take walks together. We are able to get out in nature;
see beauty; get in touch with our muse; burn up some calories; have walking
meditations; have delightful and insightful conversations; and clean-up the
public road.
