Charitable giving has multiple positive and powerful effects for both the giver and the receiver, and today’s online tools and apps make giving easier than ever.
A couple I follow on social media raised $118,000 for an organization that assists and supports children in foster care. Through Instagram stories and posts, they listed their personal Venmo accounts and encouraged people to give, even if it was just $1 or $5. A few days later, they posted a video where they had announced the total amount to the organization’s founder, and her reaction was both incredulous and joyful as she erupted in screams and laughter.
