Fundraising: The Giving Patterns

Why and how people and organizations give varies. Individuals mainly give because they are presented with a giving opportunity that motivates them. In turn, foundations give based on their specific defined philanthropic focus and goals, whereas a small part of donations from charitable contributions comes from corporations which seek to invest in community well-being.NGOs should then look at who the givers are and note who they give to — then connect the dots knowing that philanthropy is not necessarily compassion in action. It will often, if not mostly, be an investment in entities that promise rewards of some kind to the donor.
