One of the great mysteries of human nature, is why some population can spend a lifetime accumulating massive wealth (often, but not always, by exploiting the under privileged) and then give it all away to charities. Sometimes they even originate their own charitable trust, which they administrate like a business, for giving away their money. Bill Gates and the Gates Foundation, would be good examples of this.
This record will survey this issue to try to understand what motivates population to donate so generously to charity.
Charitable Donations
Let me start on the skeptical side. There are some population who take the view that the main motivation behind charitable activities is self interest. The benefactor could, for example, want to impress be company colleagues with his "generosity" in order to win more business
Or he could be after a tax break - see charitable-tax-deductions.com for more on this. Or maybe it's a "karma thing". He feels by giving to the poor, he then has the right to seek even more wealth.
I think that there might be some truth in these views, but truly don't believe the skeptics when they say that there is an ulterior motive behind all kind charitable donations. They are negating one important factor: as human beings we have an broad propensity to simply "do good". Giving charity is truly creates a great feeling of self enlightenment. Charity, in all its varieties, gives a great deal of joy and reasoning peace to all the parties involved - the giver gets a great deal of delight from giving for a noble or a cause dear to their heart.
People are also greatly implicated with collective responsibility. By making a contribution to something which they believe in, these population feel that, even in a small way, they are making a difference. The idea of leaving the world in a great place than how you found it, does carry a lot of appeal.
