Is it for personal gratification or vanity? I have little respect for people that brag about their charitable deeds. I've gone so far as to request my name be left out of donor lists for orgs I am involved with I have helped raise thousands by making my charitable donations public, I have been on the committee for many charitable events and the way you raise money is by asking and making known you are personally involved, I make some large donations and I ask for large donations, an example is I'm an event sponsor for a large gala raising money for cancer research that is happening in two weeks and I will have seven other people that I invited at my table, and some/maybe all of them will get involved with the silent auctions and or just make direct donations. It's the way it works Ben, and it's the end result which is what it's all about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with volunteering charity causes or information when asked but....at a point it just seems more like "look at me!" bullshit. But, it doesn't bother me too much, either way, somebody that can give back is doing so. Their reasons can be whatever they want I suppose. "Vanity" is weird.

Vince is a generous guy but his "business" is doing the charity and its a means of self promotion. I agree , nothing necessarily wrong with it.....I have friends that use charity as a tool for advertising and self promotion. Its a resume builder also. It just strikes me more hollow when I have it waved in my face Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just strikes me more hollow when I have it waved in my face Businesses thrive on it. Especially when media gives them free promos. Like I said, nothing wrong with it at all. But, let's not pretend it's all just out of the "generousity of our hearts". Some people like to convince themselves otherwise. It's transparent to all but them I think. Kinda like hypocrisy.

Anler Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 I don't donate to big corporate charities and I will never donate to any "cancer research" "heart disease" or any other curable disease fraud outfit. We do stuff that has real faces close to home and can see the impact ourselves. No offense to anybody else but for me just throwing a check at some faceless entity who says they are doing stuff doesn't give me the satisfaction of feeling like I am helping. Especially when they haven't shown to have really accomplished anything significant in their entire existence and have big payroll and admin expenses. However I have had personal experience with make a wish and really like them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
