We all want the world to become a little better than it was yesterday, and we all want to play a role in this change. This is one of the reasons that people donate to charities and NGOs. However, NGOs and charities are present in large numbers, and for every cause. So, how do you decide which charity you should donate to? Here are some tips to help you: 1. Decide a cause you want to help
There are NGOs in every field: some help in education, some in poverty, some with sex education, some with surgeries, and so on. There must be at least one cause that you care about and would love to make an impact in. Make a list of causes that you care the most about and donate to one of them, or divide your donation amount equally among all. Remember that just because you donate to one cause, does not mean you don’t care about other causes. It’s okay to have preferences. What matters is to donate. 2. Do you want to donate for a local cause or global cause? Some may want to donate to a local charity, but also want their donation to have a global impact. On the other hand, some may want to donate to a local charity because they think the money would be better put to use if its usage is localised. Both of them are okay. If you want to donate for a global cause, look for global organisations working for the cause. And if you want to donate to a local charity, look for local organisations. This will help you donate to the right cause and the charity. 3. Vet the charity It’s also okay for you to vet a charity before you donate to it. Study how the charity utilises its funds and where. Make sure that the charity you are donating to will make good use of your donation. This will also ensure that you are making an impact. When you decide which cause and charity you would donate to, find their online charity donation platform.
