Does your merchant processing company donate to a charity of your choice? If they aren’t and that’s important to you like it is to me and most of your customer base reach out! Are you still paying fees for your own merchant processing? Could you think of something else that would be more beneficial than paying merchant processing fees how about paying yourself a little bit more money, or donating to a charity?

My Perspective of Charity/donations Charity, or donations or the creation of NGOs are supposed to come from two motivational standpoints. Option 1. I am an entrepreneur, my business is growing and I want to give back to my community which will make me look good (Public Relations) in that community and I can also use my donations for tax purposes (get tax reduction or even refunds in some cases). Option 2: I have a strong conviction to give, then I can look into what I have, take a portion of it and donate and even if I want to fundraise to donate, it should come and add to what I already have. Unfortunately many have seen charities nowadays as a means to survive instead helping others. It doesn't even make sense that you run an NGO and you are dependent on what comes in as donations (for those in need) as a source of your own livelihood; that means you are more needy than those you are trying to help.

There’s something incredible when you put volunteers at the heart of the voluntary sector. ✨ Without good trustees at the heart of what they do, a charity’s impact and potential can be limited. Many people choose to do our Pilotlight 360 programme because they’re interested in being a trustee of a charity but want some kind of experience of a charity board before they take the plunge. So what are the key things to think about before you go ahead and commit to a charity? 💡 We give you a handy guide on some of the key duties and best practices. ➡️https://lnkd.in/eX5dfqQS #TrusteeWeek

The physical space around you can affect your mindset and your mood. If you’re going through a difficult time and need a mental reset, try some spring cleaning or even rearranging your space. 📍 Take it step-by-step and tackle one area of your space at a time. It isn’t a race and you’ll be able to better complete the task by focusing on one area at a time. 📍 If you find any items that you no longer need, donate to a local charity organization. #Cenikor #WellBeyondRecovery #TurnTo #HHSC #Prevention #ProjectAIM #SanMarcos #Amarillo #Austin

how are people able to do charity? suppose, I am earning ₹1000 and I need to do a charity of ₹100... Seriously, I can't do it... though, I can give my old clothes or old stuff but money I can't give... I can even do some public service श्रम दान, or help someone but I can't part with my money... How are people able to do charity? How was दानवीर karan mahabharat able to give away his chest plate and ear rings? How do people go and donate? You go to some market, you are followed by many beggars and if you give any one of them ₹10 it's a great deal.... they will recognise you and every time you goto market they will ask for money... How are the private companies able to do CSR? I think I am like Uncle Scrooge of Duck Tales who will never part with his money
