Why Make Charitable Donations ?

          Everybody donates to the charity of their choice for their own reasons. While I like to believe that everyone contributes out of kindness, I know hat this is untrue. Many people use these donations as a way of lowering their taxes and some do it because their religion tells them they must if they want to go to heaven. While others want the respect that comes with  making large donations.

          Large amounts of money are donated by these people every year and it is of course appreciated by the charities and recipients. It feeds many children and helps the least fortunate among us. It is used for research  and medical treaments and so many other things.

          So is it wrong to donate for these reasons ? No these are all valid reasons to contribute to charity. I believe though that the people who are seeking no rewards either financially, in the afterlife or earthly are the real Philanthropists among us. They donate only for the self satisfaction of knowing they have made somebody else’s life better without any other reward..

          That is why there is nothing on my blog or my website to identify me. I am not seeking recognition for my good works nor am I looking to receive any other reward besides knowing I have made the world a better place for everyone.

          Like people everywhere I do need to meet my own personal needs. I neither expect nor intend to get rich from this, but I do have to survive while doing the charity work.
