Donating your money and time are the two things you can do to really help non-profit organizations locally and nationally. Charities all across the United States and abroad are doing great things only because you have decided to truly support what you think is right and just.
Without your help, abused women and children wouldn’t have a safe place to go to, educational programs for those who need them wouldn’t exist, new health and environmental technology wouldn’t be saving lives and our land, millions of animals would never have a normal life with an owner who loves them, thousands of children and their families wouldn’t have Thanksgiving, Christmas or food to eat every day and so on.
Non-profit organizations do work. But since there are so many out there that need your help, you must make sure that your dollars and time are actually profiting the charity’s mission - and not their personal checkbook. As long as you do your homework first and then give your time and money, you can go to bed knowing that you actually do make a difference in the world around you.
