PLAN YOUR CHARITY

When it comes to chalking out that perfect financial plan, for a wealthy person even in these economically unstable times, charity still goes a long way. Apart from planning to spend wisely and investing for the future, rich people are also removing some funds aside for charity. In fact on a average a good ten percent of the earnings annually is spent of charity by millionaires.

In fact even looking at from the business point of view one may enjoy immense positives by giving away generous amounts on charity. This is to results in superior ROI in a way. People may end up with better expanded networks, increased sales, positive publicity, promotions, marketing etc

But then charity today may not simply be done just like that. One needs proper planning. Selfless charity goes a long way in the building a better community and economy. It ought to be done strategically and with efficiency. There ought to be volunteers with their charitable programs and fundraisers.

One may as well start of doing charity for something that one’s heart truly feels for. This can be cancer, AIDS, children, disaster victims etc. One may as well go and research about a charity organization and narrow down on the one or two group. A charity group which is doing enough for the welfare for the society should be chosen.

One may then set up his own budget accordingly and steadily increase the monthly amount that he spends on charity. One may start off with $50 monthly and go on to $75 monthly.

CHARITY BEGINS FROM HOME

Peter and Susan Tann brought their new house Town Place in Kent. The house was in Throwley near Faversham. They realised that the house they had purchased had large area. In fact it had a ruined barn next door which was full of rotting hay. This is where the couple realized if they clean up the place it might as well be used for a variety of purposes, charity none the less.

The couple selflessly cleaned up the barn. Installed plumbing and electricity and even set up a small stage there. They then invited people to come over and use the place for free, for a fund raiser, party or even parish gathering.

For once, the couple truly knew what happiness meant as gathered with the get-together of a huge group of people. They knew that charity and also hospitality begins from home. Barn dances, harvest lunches and jazz evenings were just some of the gatherings that would take place. There would also evenings comprise of people coming together talking on local history and landscape.

Canterbury Pilgrims Hospice and Demelza House hospice for children are the local charities which also use the place for their fund raising events that has greatly helped them with their charitable causes.

Marking the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar, the Tanns themselves also held a costume dinner which was received with much fan fare and attended by one and all. But now the Tanns are moving to a beach house at Walmer. This is as to the disappointment of one and all.

Similar is the case with Maggee Johnson and her brother Tony Redsell both of whom have been running a children’s theme park, Farming World. They have for the past eighteen years garnered about £63,000 in charity but are now themselves selling of their house. But before they do so, the two plan to have a big supper for charity that would collect about $3000. This charity would be for the breast cancer support.

FLIP students organize various charity fundraising events to raise charity funds for their local chosen charity. This Flip charity funds are used in community development programs.
