There are people who really want to devote some time they have in helping out other people. But the purpose for putting up fundraising drives would have to define what they are designed for and what they intend to accomplish. People would resort to medical missions, conducting community service in helping out shorthanded foundations to take care of the people under their wing.

It should however be noted that all this work is purely for volunteering and not strictly required. It is done out of entirely an open heart with no expectations of anything in return. This is the fundraising way of living, sharing and spreading the love that other people look for to which they have stumbled and almost fallen.

There have been a lot of campaigns and benefit events done each year for a certain cause. A lot of them are done out of fundraising, some to provide and answer the needs of people and so on. Whatever the cause may be, everything is aimed at answering the needs of people who seek comfort in the best way possible.

The level of satisfaction of such people is entirely different from the normal standards that people live on, and such is to be expected considering extending a helping hand is the important agenda of it all.

We all here that giving to fundraising is a good Samaritan's deed. Sadly, people are not entirely aware of why they are doing fundraising work. Some would even do it for building their image or for some other reason to get attention and commendations for their supposed efforts. However, it has been forgotten that charities are done for the purpose of lending a helping hand without expecting anything in return. The only probable return is the feeling of happiness where a person is able to contribute his way towards actually helping people in need of it.

Fundraising work should always come from the heart and not the mind. Taking into consideration that people have the excess funds and resources to donate and help people who have misfortunes in their means of living is something that will depend on the actual purpose for helping them out. Fundraising and donation should be done with an open heart, the reward of which is the tingling feeling we all feel inside for contributing to a worthy cause.

Practically anyone must be wondering, do all donations given to the known charitable institutions in their region actually reach their intended purpose of helping the actual people in need? Technically, the common man would care less but each penny or in kind donations are totally for the account of the people housed and targeted for such aids and donations.

These fundraising organizations are non-profit organizations. They are purely for voluntary aid and work to serve people and endeavors in need. While the immediate understanding that people in need would be the main beneficiaries, there are other causes such as disaster victims, and other individuals who would find themselves on the losing end.

But just the same, the aim of such foundations and organizations is to purely offer help and support in any form possible. It is not about how much or what to give. It is about the use and extending that helping hand to help them in their unfortunate predicaments caused by varying events that have come into their lives.
