These tips will help you give back to charities you care about, no matter your budget.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #58585a;\"><!--more--><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px; color: #58585a;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">1. Assess Your Current Budget<\/span><\/strong><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #58585a;\">Sitting down with your finances can be daunting. Try starting fresh with your next paycheck and use the 50\/30\/20 rule: put 50% towards fixed expenses, 30% towards wants, and 20% into savings. From there, determine if you can give a percentage of your savings to an organization you admire. Even 5% can feel like a win. Before you start any new financial routine, you need to take an inventory of your financial values, personal saving, and spending. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px; color: #58585a;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">2. Pay Attention to Your Emotions<\/span><\/strong><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #58585a;\">You know that feeling when you give a gift to a friend and they beam with excitement? Of course, you feel good about finding the perfect gift for someone.<span style=\"text-decoration: none;\"><span style=\"color: #a2d185;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/us\/blog\/the-compass-pleasure\/201108\/is-your-brain-charitable-giving\" style=\"color: #a2d185;\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> Studies show<\/a> <\/span><\/span>that similar emotions run through our brains when we participate in charitable giving. Donating to nonprofits with missions that align with your personal values can make your spending feel more intentional.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px; color: #58585a;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><strong>3. Take Time to Research<\/strong><\/span><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #58585a;\">You have passions and values that feel central to who you are. When you\u2019re interested in donating to an organization, take time to research their practices and goals. Maybe you want to support a national network because of its established credibility. Or, give back to a local nonprofit with a mission you believe in. Either way, learning more about your chosen charities helps you understand how your donation benefits their cause.

Any Amount Counts<\/strong><\/span><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #58585a;\">It\u2019s easy to feel like your support doesn\u2019t make much of a difference. In reality, even small donations can help a charity stay up and running.
