How can I help charities?

GIVE YOUR TIME

1. 6 Donate blood. Donating blood regularly – or even as a one-off – is a great way to ensure that you’re giving back to those who need it.
2. 7 Volunteer your time in a soup kitchen or homeless shelter.
3. 8 Take part in a charity run.
4. 9 Get involved with Decembeard.
5. 10 Sell or donate your unwanted gifts.

Why do people donate?

Many people who donate to charity believe it’s important to help people in need. They feel that people should give to others because it’s the right thing to do. While psychologists debate whether pure altruism is real, altruistic people enjoy giving and receive pleasure from the action.

How much should I give to charity?

Start with 1\% of your income, then work your way up. If you make $100,000 a year, that’s $1,000 per year going to a public charity, or $20 per week. That’s very doable. If you want to match the donation of the average American in your income bracket, you can slowly move it up to 3\% of your income.
