Here are great fundraising causes you can start with. By practising the art of giving, you can make a huge difference by making the world a kinder place for everyone.
Incorporating these suggested practices into your daily routine can help nurture your commitment to giving, leaving those around you lifted. Acting on these tips can be easy for some, challenging for some and a bit strange to others.
However, taking a first step and then more consistent steps, will soon make giving a normal habit. Do not give up and keep tabs on yourself daily/weekly or monthly.
Collaborating with someone or people, who can be your giving accountability partner in 2023 will help keep you on track with your giving goals. Learn more on how to create an impact with little with others.
Getting to engage in donating activities can be beneficial to your overall well-being and state of mind. These activities will help create an environment where you can feel vulnerable and grow better intentions towards giving.
5. Help Others Develop These Habits with You
Live intentionally, schedule your giving, and budget your giving. The little you have is always enough; do not think it is not. Being intentional when showing love to the needy is what matters.
Give when you feel prompted to, according to your budget but always try your best to support at least one needy person often.
4. Help one person in need daily or weekly
Ever heard of the saying “charity begins at home”? That’s right, it applies even in giving. As a practice, you could begin by consciously paying more attention to the needs of the people around you, which could be your family, domestic help, handymen, or that petty trader on your street that you occasionally patronise.
Then thoughtfully reach out with gifts based on your observation and affordability – nothing is ever too small when given with pure intentions, especially when it comes from a totally unexpected source.
3. Start with the people around you
Everyone has that inborn impulse or motivation to take action, especially in response to a specific external stimulus.
Whenever you find yourself in situations where you feel a nudge or impulse to give, trust that feeling, and do something immediately. You will be surprised by how much difference you would have made in no time.
2. Follow your Instincts
Having a personal gratitude list is a great way to help you focus on giving to people as an act of gratitude after seeing what you have received or survived so far in life.
Take a book and write down things you are grateful for. This will give you multiple reasons to give and who you can give to.
