CHARITABLE GIVING

Nowadays, many wealthy people decide to donate part of their fortune to charity, but what-s the reason they give this money?

Sometime, altruism isn’t the only reason for giving. Some people look for personal interests such as giving back part of the money they should pay in taxes or gaining publicity to influence he world around them. For example, Carlos Slim donate a lot of money to support helping programs for poor people, but who can tell us that he pays all his taxes? However, the favorable publicity we watch on TV makes the Mexican society believe that he is a great person. He’s the richest man of the world after all.

On the other hand, there’re people who find put other reasons to donate, for example, Gladys Holm who decided to donate money for philanthropic causes because a hospital saved the life of her friend’s daughter. There’re many other examples like this around the world that make this world a better world.

There are other important reasons why people donate, for example, the successful graduates donate to their universities to widen educational opportunities for other students, religious organizations that help orphan children.

We live in a world that’s dying little by little, but it’s asking everybody to work together and save it. All the wealthy people should be sensitive with what’s happening around them so they feel the necessity of donating.
