• Sense of well-being. - Utilizing the proceeds of success to help others makes people feel good about themselves. It also creates a ripple effect by inspiring people to do good to others as well.
• Lasting effect. – Whether philanthropists are famous or not, giving leaves an impact that will be remembered one way or another.
• Tax efficiency. – Giving to charitable causes may take a part of one’s earnings, but it is tax efficient.
• Benefits on children. – Disadvantaged children are given a fresh start and an opportunity to lead better lives.
• Cohesion. - Through philanthropy, giving integrates many communities and strengthens unity among people.
• Improving communities. - Offering assistance to charitable organizations makes communities better since it sustains them with services and goods, which are given to those who are not able to get the basic needs for themselves.
