Charity organizations play a significant role in reaching vulnerable communities at their point of need. They support government policy to enhance access and delivery of services.

 In some cases, they offer support when the day’s government takes too long or fails to provide essential assistance.

You don’t have to be a millionaire to support charity organizations’ noble course; in your small way, you can be part of this noble exercise.

Before we look at how you can support, you need to know why it’s vital to meet the organization’s goals.

1. To touch a life in your own small or big way.
2. To enhance the quality of services to the vulnerable.
3. Gives you a self of fulfillment
4. Gives life meaning to the target audience
5. Show patriotism and solidarity to government agencies.
6. Improves standards of living for vulnerable communities.
7. Promotes the feeling of happiness

Depending on the type of charity, you have several benefits as an individual, the organization, and the target audience. Here are some ways you can be part of the charity.

Donations

The donor funds that run charity is not the work of only the bog organizations. Even individual can also offer their financial support to help charity organizations achieve their objective.

Donations can also be in material form. You can choose to provide your consent in many ways. For example, when there is a blood drive, why not save a life by donating blood?

When there is a humanitarian crisis within your area, can’t you offer support in the form of food, clothing, or material on a need basis? Is that not providing support to a non-profit making organization?

Look at earthquake victims; you can choose to offer catering services and let them have a decent meal amidst the crisis.

You can decide to smoke ribs, jerky, fish, and more menus using your pellet smoker and let them enjoy their meal at the camps. The blessings you get from the appreciation is immense.

Volunteer your service

Do you have the skills and the time you can dedicate to some of these organizations? You can do it as full time or part time depending n your work schedule.

We have volunteers who take their time to go overseas to take care of vulnerable communities. That is all about charity.

 You don’t need a material reward, but the feeling of satisfaction is more rewarding than the money aspect.

Here are many volunteer organizations seeking volunteers in many sectors; why not be part of them?

The big organizations have a stipend for them to go through life in the areas of work.

Engage in charity activities

Many charity activities are part of the programs of these non-profit making organizations.  You can also take it upon yourself and be part of them by engaging in charity walks, charity runs, volunteer staff in any event, and being part of the secretariat for the day.

You have many options. You only need to show a willingness to be an individual material or financial donor.

The organizer knows where to place to best to have a win-win situation for you and the organization. Other ideas include:

• Online and offline fundraiser
• Engaging in fitness challenges
• Motivational speaker
• Donation match drive

Market their products and services

When there is a marketing campaign for a specific course, you are a marketer in your right. You can use your contacts or social media connections to spread the word.

 In case they have an income-generating activity, why not become a buyer to promote sales. If you don’t need the product, you can buy it, and someone else who needs the product can use it on your behalf. What an excellent way to bless someone?

When an advocacy group is trying to message, what do you do to help them in this campaign? Your work is simple, spread the word.

If it’s about the environment, you should be on the frontline to do as they say and disseminate it to the right audience.

Dissemination of information

The organization can only work effectively when they also have a job to do; look at an organization focusing on improving literacy levels among disabled children?

What do you do when you have a neighbor with a disabled child, and you know they are not getting an education?

Do you also hide your child because of stigma when you see an organization is out there to give you the necessary help? Information is power; once you have the idea of an organization’s objectives and activities, you may not directly be part of their actions.

But, spreading the word to give them a chance to run their activities with ease helps at an individual level.

Charities are there to offer support. They can only do this when they also receive support from individuals and relevant stakeholders.

If you have the will and power to give them a chance, you don’t have to shy away. Come out and help them achieve their objectives. We are all part of charity organizations at corporate and individual levels.
