5 Reasons You Should Donate To A Non-profit Organization

If you are among the privileged ones who have money to rent a house, have food and pay for your daily expenses, then you should donate to non-profit organizations. It doesn’t have to be a huge amount; whatever small amount you can donate will be helpful.

Here are the reasons why you should donate to your local non-profit organization.

Make a big impact

You might be surprised to know that for only $3, you can provide a meal for an entire family in some communities. So, no matter how small the amount is, you should donate. Your money might be used to provide education to someone or give food to some family members.

So, you will be making a big impact on people’s lives by donating.

Show your values

When you donate for a good cause it tells a lot about your values. You believe in those causes and that’s why you cared to donate. People will know that you are a philanthropic person.

Feel good

Donating will give you immense pleasure. You will feel that your life is extremely fulfilling. There is great happiness in making others happy and giving them something they need. 

Teaches others about generosity

When you donate, others will get motivated and do the same. By donating you can also teach your children and other family members the importance of generosity.

Get tax benefits

When you contribute to charities regularly, you get tax benefits. In New Zealand, for example, you can claim 33.33% tax credit for all donations above $5. So, at the end of the year, you will pay less tax to the government based on your income due to your charitable contribution. You should always donate to a non-profit organization that does activities that are close to your heart. For example, if you want all the kids in your community to be educated, then donate to an organization that works for child education. That way, you will be contributing to your community and make it a better place to live in.
