PokerForCharities knows that helping others takes many forms. There are countless ways to give assistance to the needy and that having the ability to find funds generated for monetary donations is only one way to participate. Most organizations, however, appreciate that both small and large monetary gifts remain an important and vital part of the charitable giving process. Historically, therefore, the monetary charitable gifts from fundraising efforts coming from churches and foundations have led the way for medical, housing and food relief over all other resources.
Modern studies advocate that several factors set the stage for the donations process. Interestingly, the ‘happiness’ aspect of the donor has an impact on the success of the fundraising effort. A Harvard University study suggests that happier people give more, that giving indeed causes increased happiness, and that these two relationships may operate in a circular fashion. PokerForCharities subscribes to these concepts by providing a positive fundraising environment that millions of people can enjoy. Since 30%+ of the world’s population love to play poker, a legal game of skill, the PokerForCharities idea provides the perfect vehicle for the Fundraiser’s goals. Hundreds (if not thousands) of people everywhere, love playing poker. Being able to successfully and logically merge the game with the definitive purpose of the fundraising event sets the stage for the perfect outcomes of the organization.
PokerForCharities fundraising events, while being entertaining and exhilarating, bring together and unify other donor benefits.
Donations to a charitable organization or a non-profit group are tax deductible. Both the actual monies and the donor’s costs such as travel, parking costs and even convention and event fees related to the non-profit group can be claimed, as long as the donor is not being reimbursed by the charity for these expenses.
The act of helping others often creates an intangible positive and personal view for the donor related to charitable donating activities. Having the knowledge of reaching out to the less fortunate creates an improved sense of well-being. Knowing that a sacrifice of a person’s time, finances or property in order to help others in need often results in a sense of a person’s private purpose in life and inner satisfaction.
Like networking in any field, knowledge gained and increased awareness of social problems within the donor’s sphere of influence during his/her participation is another benefit. Many people will research the issues connected to the organization they are interested in donating to, and thereby become more educated about social injustices around the world. This is a way to discover new points of view and opinions on new topics relative to charitable gifting.
When offering resources to others in need, the charitable donor brings forth a sense of inner peace and contentment within his/her core. A key component to selfless giving is the cornerstone to many spiritual and religious belief systems. Acting and participating in events in line with these spiritual beliefs fulfills the commitment to the convictions of the donor.
