Annual Donation How Can I Help: Fill & Download for Free

Time for another one of my unpopular answers.First, you need to define what made it wasteful or foolish. Because to be clear there are some straight up foolish and wasteful charities.For example “Kid Wish Network” donates only $0.03 for every dollar it raises, and it raises millions annually. “Youth Development Fund” for example raised around $30 million, with 80% going to “solicitation companies” and the rest going to make a video of the charity's founder swimming with sharks.It is extremely important to teach the difference between a good charity and a bad charity. It’s also important to make sure donations go to charities that are in line with your ideals. It’s important to make sure that you're allowing your son some freedom to choose his own ideals, but you should step in if he starts donating money to charities that you simply can not support, or making donations to organizations that you simply can not support. Donating to the KKK, for example, seems like something you should stop. Furthermore, you should also show that charities that are ineffective should not receive donations. That it’s important to make sure that donations are used correctly, and in an effective manner.What is important to do, to correct the behavior, is to show the results. Make sure that you're not critiquing his choice on what to support, or even how much support to give, but instead focus on showing the disparity in what he wanted to do, and what is actually going to get done.Layout criteria for a “good” charity. Again stay away from defining a “good” cause and instead focus on the mechanics. Focus on the impact the charity can and does have historically.Finally, make sure to spend some time on why he donated. A lot of people donate to feel better about themselves. Instead layout good reasons for donating. Make it clear that donating to feel better about one’s self is not the same donating because you believe in a cause.I would suggest you find the cause your son wants to support, then explore the charities that support that cause. Do your homework and find on that meets the criteria that were set out. Then together show how to make a good donation, focusing on both the good charity and the fact that you can’t help someone else if you can’t help yourself first. Show how to get into a habit of good donations, and to stay out of the habit of impulse donating to feel better about your situation.

You see you're a good logical person!How? You see, people talk endlessly throughout their day. Do they have that much correct information? All of them? No! They talk gibberish and get away with it because others don't know shit as well! The only difference between you and them is that you can't go out and claim that you're Lord Shiva in the open but they can, for they just can do anything!Are they super human? They have to be the most retarded super humans ever!!I have just one single advice for you if you wanna be confident: Push your limits.I just guarantee you one thing along the way: Pain.I just guarantee one thing in return: Just confidence? No! Glory!When and what was the last thing you saw/noticed and felt OMG how I wish I could do that! It would be so awesome! Remember that.And just like that, this very harmless moment, decide to do it.Yes, you dunno how.Yes, you dunno if it's normal.Yes, you may think it's stupid! Illogical! Unrealistic!Well lemme tell you my friend! Being unrealistic is a very great virtue a man can have! You see, it's unreal to enter a room, flip a switch and the bulb would go on! Thank God Edison didn't think so!!Hence, prepare yourself for this exciting adventure where you would give every bit of your mind, focus, energy and soul (don't you dare say you are working and don't have time! You don't have time to live? Go donate your organs. They will make more than your annual salary and help someone who thrives to live too!)The journey till the end will teach you a lot of things. And one would be how trivial the things in life really are and yet how much importance we end up giving them. That will give you the perspective you need. That will tell you what kind of a man you really are!After that, do you really think you would loose confident?!?

Find a couple of small- to mid-size performing organizations and buy tickets. Encourage friends to do the same, and bring young people now and then.Make an annual donation — certainly doesn’t have to be big — to each.FINI recently read a popular Quora answer which characterizes classical music performance as an art form on its last leg. The author says, and I don’t at all doubt it, that he doesn’t know a single adult who’d pay to hear live classical music.But I know many of them, and in an ordinary midsize city I regularly play to paying audiences of a thousand or more. I even have health insurance.This tells me not that classical music is moribund, but that it’s niche. I already knew this. It has been niche for centuries.I’ve written a lot about this before. There are definitely some challenges faced by live classical music in the U.S. in particular, where ideas about cultural capital can be a little strange. Here the intellectual is more or less equivalent to the suspicious, and profit margins double as moral yardsticks. But these issues are not terminal. Mozart and Mahler can handle them. They have a tougher time dealing with suburban sprawl, which also factors in, but even this is not insurmountable with your help.Buy tickets and make donations. In the post-feudal era, this is how we support art.
