Lesson Excerpt:
Charitable contributions are a big part of our society. Some people prefer to give money while others enjoy the opportunity to get personally involved. Others prefer to make contributions, such as clothing, computers, cars, and various types of goods and services. People give to organizations for many reasons, but the number one reason is because it makes them feel good to do it. Giving back to society is part of being a good citizen and should be part of a financial plan.
