Millions of people give back to society to make the world a better place to live for underprivileged people and the next generation. Some people extend their time, and some donate money to charity on a regular basis to support a cause they believe in. Donation not only helps others, but also helps bring positivity to a donor’s own life too. The social, financial, psychological, and emotional benefits of donation can outweigh the feeling of splurging only for your needs.
Mentioned below are the key benefits of giving a donation to NGOs working for the welfare of handicapped, disabled, and needy people from the underprivileged segment:
Self-Worth and Contentment
Giving to charity is a noble and selfless act, so donating to a cause will enhance your self-worth and self-esteem. It will give you a sense of satisfaction as you help others find access to all the essential resources. By donating, you can help children feel supported by the food or shelter they get, and differently-abled and needy adults may be able to join vocational training programmes and more. You can bring a smile to others’ faces with your small amounts of donation.
Give More Meaning to Life
Donating time or money to a cause that is close to your heart will allow you to spend time doing something you love for the society. When you work for charity, you get opportunities to meet and interact with new like-minded people who support the same cause, that can further inspire you.
Tax Deduction
Donation to charity is a great way to be entitled to a tax rebate. You get exemption not only for the amount you donate but other expenses that are related to the charity. At the end of the year, you will get the proof of payment from the NGO, which you can demonstrate with other documents and get exemption on the tax amount.
Whether you make a donation for handicapped people or to an organisation that provides food and shelter to poor and underprivileged people, the donation will improve your overall sense of happiness and satisfaction.
