The Non Government Organisations and the Charitable Institutions in the nonprofit sector cannot take the complete responsibilities of the Government at any instance, without a collective help and commitment of many like minded people like you. They cannot cure the ills and apathies of Society by themselves.
Social change is a collective product of commitment and endeavour of you and me. All of us, together - can make a difference, even if it is in a small way, in our own sphere, and can find ways to help that will make our efforts worth the time and the concern we show toward them.
A glaring example could be the American house holds who donate an average of 3.1 percent of their annual income to Charities. This constitutes to about 89 % of the people.
People who have contributed money to a charity - report that they get back in satisfaction and joy more than they ever expend in inconvenience or effort - what you get back is immeasurable. You'll also receive these benefits:
- Giving back to the society for fulfillment of your obligation to the mankind and society. It gives you the highest sense of contentment and achievement.
- Giving others enhances your self esteem.
- Giving lets those who have more, share with those who have less. It makes you the contributor in shaping the lives of others who are talented but economically under privileged.
- Giving encourages more giving - you can set an example for others.
- Financial donations and contributions give tax exemptions
We are responsible citizens. We do realize our sense of responsibility towards the society and share a great concern to contribute to shape a better world. We need to create better citizens, for shaping a better world. This is a great mission in each of our minds, but we need to come together to accomplish our mission.
Take an initiative; you can derive immense happiness when you see the smiling eyes of the beneficiaries, in what ever the way you extend your hands of help.
