You also can be a part of the journey of changing life of a person by donating to a non-profit organization (NGO). It makes you feel good and satisfied. But, before donating you need to make it sure that your contribution will be used for the good work.
Here we have listed some points which you need to check before donation and help you to make an informed decision.
Research about the NGO:
When you are going to donate to NGO, you need to do a well research about it. Ensure that the money you earn through hard work will not go wasted. Look into their mission, values, and the work they do. Make sure their goals align with causes you’re passionate about. You can find this information on their website or through reputable sources.
Know Their Work Profile:
While you are going to donate in a NGO, you must need to be aware of their work profile. You need to know about what kind of project the NGO is involved and their effectiveness. Look for information on their past projects, success stories, and impact in the community. This will give you the idea about the use of your donation.
Understand Their Impact:
At the time of donating in a NGO, you need to keep in your mind the impact of your donation in the life of an individual or on the society. Contribute to the NGOs that focus on sustainable solutions and long-term change rather than just providing short-term relief. Evaluate how effectively they utilize resources to maximize their impact.
Tax Rebate Option:
In India, according to Tax Rebate under Section 80G of the Income Tax Act, the donation you make to eligible NGOs can be allowed for tax advantages. To take the advantage of the tax deduction before making the donation you need to make it sure that the NGO in which you are donating is registered under this section. This way, you can contribute to a good cause while also saving on taxes.
Make a Wise Selection:
At last, you should select an NGO which matches your instincts. Whether it’s a local grassroots organization or a well-established charity, your contribution can make a difference in the lives of others.
Always keep this in your mind that, no matter your contribution is small or big, it can create difference in one’s life. By taking these steps to ensure your donation is well-invested, you can make a positive impact and support causes you care about.
