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.
