Definition of donation, what is donation and examples

The definition of a donation is money or some other thing of value given to a charity or person in need. When you give the sum of 100 leva to a homeless charity, this is an example of a donation of 100 leva.

What does donating money mean?

To donate means to give something - money, goods or time - to a cause, such as a charity. The word has a more altruistic meaning than simply 'giving'; it implies that you expect nothing in return for the contribution.

Why is giving important?

Individuals contribute 72 percent of charitable donations. Without you, social action organisations could not exist. Without you, the call for help goes unanswered, and the problem goes unsolved. Whether you fund a nonprofit program or its initiatives, your donation is vital to their ability to advance their mission and grow.

How do I make a donation?

Here are 4 ways to make a donation to a charitable cause:

  • Use your bank account. Donating money is still one of the most common ways
  • Give online to one of our causes
  • Set up a private or family foundation
  • Donate your time
