NGOs have always been at the forefront for the welfare of our society. They support political, social, and environmental problems like hunger, poverty, and other humanitarian issues. They work to promote growth and enhance the living standards of underprivileged people.

And even though we live in a rapidly evolving and technologically advanced society where everything we need is at our disposal, there are still many for whom basic needs like having food on the table are a luxury.

NGOs support the community by fighting socioeconomic problems and distributing food to needy people. Many NGOs donate food to the poor with the help of government funding and private donations.

People are traditionally generous in helping the underprivileged. In addition to holding free food fairs and leftover food collection camps, many NGOs call for donations to feed the poor with a vision to provide such a basic necessity.

However, it is critical to understand who will benefit the most from your offering. Here are two questions you should ask the NGO you are supporting, before making any donation.

Who Is The Charity Helping?

Since NGOs work on many causes, it is good to know who benefits from your charity. When you make a substantial contribution to donate food to the poor, it is important to ensure that the donation goes directly towards the cause you intend to support. It is good to know who the beneficiaries are, what the scale of the project is and how many ration packages the team is planning to distribute.

How Safe Are The Payment Options?

For some time, technology has been the driving force behind every transaction that involves service and money exchange. However, every online transaction has a potential security risk. Make sure the NGO you are donating to has a secured payment gateway. It is also best to keep a payment record, in case you want to claim a tax exemption on your donation.

By knowing these, you can make sure that the donations are put to good use for the welfare of society. Giving food to the poor and helping those who are less fortunate can have a huge influence on both the recipient and the donor. It not only helps counter poverty and hunger but also builds harmony in the community.
