We at Hope House Foundation are committed to helping women in our community get back on their feet after various crises. Our team provides transitional housing to women and their children to help them avoid or recover from situational homelessness. We receive generous support from community members like you, and we always welcome new donations to help us continue this work. In this article, we will go over some of the ways charitable giving benefits the giver.
- Sense of Fulfillment – One of the benefits of engaging in charitable giving is the sense of fulfillment it offers. Human beings are social creatures, and we evolved to help one another. Giving to charity helps satisfy that ancient impulse to support our fellow people, and this leads to greater feelings of contentment and fulfillment.
- Modeling Moral Values – Another benefit of charitable giving is the way it allows you to model good moral behavior for the children in your life. If you want your children to grow up to care about others who are less fortunate, then you need to model that care for them. It’s not enough to talk about the reasons why giving to charity is good—you need to give to charity yourself. Children learn more from watching and imitating you than from your words.
- Giving Back – A third benefit of engaging in charitable giving is the way it allows you to give back to your community. Many people have experienced homelessness themselves or have come very close to it, and they want to help others avoid going through the same hardship. If you want to support your community, we encourage you to donate to our program.
