5 reasons to donate to charity
Donating to the causes you care about not only benefits the charities themselves, but can be very rewarding for you too. Millions of people donate regularly to support causes they believe in, as well as for the positive effect it has on their own lives.
So why is donating to charity so rewarding? We've taken a closer look at five reasons to donate to your chosen charities.
1. Donating to a charitable cause makes you feel good
Donating to charity is a great mood booster. Knowing that you are helping others is extremely empowering and in turn can make you feel happier and more fulfilled. Research has found a link between giving to charity and increased activity in the area of the brain that registers pleasure - proving that, according to the old adage, it really is much better to give than to receive.
2. Giving to charity strengthens personal values
Whatever type of charity you support, 96% of people feel they have a moral duty to use what they have to help others and this feeling is very deeply rooted in their personal values and principles.
Having the power to improve the lives of others is a privilege for many people that comes with its own sense of duty. Acting on these strong feelings of responsibility is a great way to reinforce your own personal values and feel that you are living in a way that is true to your own ethical beliefs.
3 . Your donation gives you tax benefits
Many people worry that their donations to charity may be reduced by tax or administration costs, preventing the full amount reaching the people or causes they really want to help. Fortunately, there are ways to make the most of every charitable donation.
If you are a taxpayer in Bulgaria and you donate to any of the causes on the PavelAndreev.ORG platform, you can contact us after making your donation and request that we issue you a certificate for it. This way you benefit from tax benefits.
4. Donating to a charitable cause introduces your children to generosity
Sharing the experience of giving to charity with your children shows them from an early age that they can make a positive difference in the world. Children naturally love to help others, so nurturing their innate generosity will likely mean they grow up with a greater appreciation of what they have and will continue to support charity for years to come.

5. Donating to charitable causes encourages your friends and family to do the same
Your own donations to charity can inspire your nearest and dearest to give to causes important to them, and could even lead to a family effort to support a charitable cause or charities that have special meaning to you as a group.
Family donations create a bond, help strengthen relationships through a shared purpose, and raise more money than would otherwise be possible through individual donations. Many of your family members probably already give to charity, so working together can help you make an even greater positive impact.
If this has inspired you to make a donation to charity, we can help. We make it easy to find a charity through our charity page, where you can see all the charitable causes on the PavelAndreev.ORG platform.
