People are motivated to give for a variety of reasons. Many of us are moved by emotions to support local projects of interest, community endeavors or groups that affect our lives directly or indirectly. We understand the desire of those who have a strong desire to help others. Many of us want to support charitable causes as well as the needs of our children and grandchildren. Rather than choosing family members over local charities, many donors are surprised to learn they can support both families and charitable causes through the gift-planning process.
Religious causes are the leading recipients of our gifts.
Many of us feel a strong desire to offer thanks and praise for the many blessings we have received. Giving to various ministries and special projects allows us to express our appreciation in a very meaningful way. In our society, giving is encouraged and supported through tax deductions and other financial incentives. Not only can we give to help others, we can receive something back because of our generosity.
