“It’s not how much we give but how much love we put into giving,” said Mother Theresa. People like Martin Luther King Jr. and others will forever be remembered for the positive impact they made through giving and advocacy. Like them, many people yearn to support causes they care about but wonder how they can give back when they’re just getting by themselves.
Mother Theresa’s words show that creating an impact on humanity is not about how much you give but the love in your heart when giving the little you can. Giving comes with an endearing feeling of fulfillment. You see firsthand that even the smallest acts of kindness can transform lives.
FundACause, an easy-to-use fundraising platform, helps you raise and donate funds thereby contributing to humanitarian causes you care about. Here are a few ways to easily create the impact you’ve always desired:
1. Volunteer for Outreach Initiatives
There is a growing number of groups and individuals willing to offer assistance in addressing societal needs. There is at least one around you. As an individual yearning to be a change-maker, you can start by volunteering your time, expertise, materials, funds, or space to these developmental activities – all for free and for the greater good of the society.
2. Easily raise funds on FundACause
Do not worry if you feel the money you have isn’t enough to complete or donate to the cause you have in mind. You don’t have to do it alone. You can set up a campaign in less than 5 minutes on FundACause to raise funds for causes you care about. This way, you still reach your donation goal by starting with the little you have.
3. Partner with an NGO
Do you know that you can achieve more when you collaborate with established Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) that align with your vision, projects, and causes that matter – and help society at large. You can also donate items beyond money like your time, educational resources, fairly used items, new products, food items, scholarships, and others.
If you are someone who wouldn’t mind taking up the initiative to start something new and impactful, then this will work for you.

4. Train or Teach People
A sacrifice of your time and knowledge might seem little but it is one of the greatest donations you can ever give. The saying: “Material things can be stolen from you but no one can take your knowledge”, indicates the value of relevant knowledge sharing with others.
If reading this struck a thought in your mind, then you should consider volunteering to train someone in an area of your expertise today. You can organise webinars, empowerment programs, provide handouts or study materials, videos and others.
Always remember: Change starts with you and the little you can do to help others!
