Five Reasons to Give to Charity

Are you already giving to a charity? If not, today is a
good day to start. Here's why:
1. Think about this: If you improve the lifestyles of the
least prosperous and least able among us, doesn't it
stand to reason that your action improves the average
standard of living overall?
2. Giving to charity provides us with intangible benefits
such as joy, satisfaction, and pride in doing the right
thing for other people by choice rather than by edict.
3. Those who witness our giving are reminded that we
are all interdependent on one another for our care
and well-being. That reminder can have a viral effect
and motivate countless others to follow your example.
4. At the very least, your gifts to charity will
be rewarded, in part, by the government in the form
of a reduced tax liability. Business owners can
especially benefit from this if they give through
their businesses.
5. "What you sow, you shall also reap." Many have found
that by choosing to give, they receive gifts much larger
than what they parted with. While this isn't a guarantee
for giving, it does appear to be a common pattern over
thousands of years of recorded history.
Don't make giving to charity a big deal. Do what you can
now, and continue doing what you can over time, but
resolve to give something starting today. Over time,
you'll be able to prove to yourself that you made the
right decision.
