For the Donor Tree Free Fall Donation Plaque Giveaway wants to recognize the advantages of Donating!
Whether you are donating time or resources it is beneficial for many reasons. Besides providing opportunities to those who are less fortunate, donating provides numerous benefits to those donating as well. A donor benefits in many ways ranging from mental and emotional health to financial reasons as well like being able to claim tax deductions. Find a cause you believe in and lend a helping hand.
One of the benefits from being a donor is it can reduce rates of stress. Research has found that improved happiness and less stress is linked to those who give to charity and volunteer versus those who don’t. It’s likely that being able to help others can remind you how fortunate you may be.
Another added benefit from giving to charity is that it can increase your sense of well-being. Helping those in need whether its time, money, or other resources lending a helping hand can increase your well being providing happiness to others.
Helping others also promotes more cooperation and a sense of social connection. Numerous studies have shown that when you donate to others you are more likely to be rewarded. Also, helping out your community provides a connection with that city that encourages others to get involved as well. These interactions within the community also create a strong bond of connection and can encourage others to donate as well.
The most notable reason for giving to charity is to reduce your taxes! No one likes paying taxes and too many people to count have tried to find loopholes to lower their taxes. When filing your taxes you can report the money you spend for charity as a deduction in your taxes. This benefit doesn’t just stop at cash either you can claim anything you donated to charities for a tax deduction.
The reason you decide to donate isn’t nearly as important as the simple fact that you donated. It’s important to help those less fortunate than you whether its animals or people and provide them with opportunities to improve their lives.
