I FOUND THIS ARTICLE ABOUT GIVING AND THOUGHT TO SHARE IT.

TO ME THE FEELING OF GIVING IS ONE THAT ARE UNPRESIDENTED IN EVERY ASPECT OF THE WORD.

JUST THE ABILITY TO GIVE, ALONE GIVES ME THE GRATITUDE OF AWE

IHelping others takes countless forms and springs from countless motivations, from deep-rooted empathy to a more calculated desire for public recognition. Social scientists have identified a host of ways in which charitable behavior can lead to benefits for the giver, whether economically via tax breaks, socially via signaling one's wealth or status, or psychologically via experiencing well-being from helping. Charitable organizations have traditionally capitalized on all of these motivations for giving, with a recently emerging focus on highlighting the mood benefits of giving—the feelings of empowerment, joy, and inspiration that giving engenders. Indeed, if giving feels good, why not advertise the benefits of "self-interested giving," allowing people to experience that good feeling while increasing contributions to charity at the same time? HBS doctoral candidate Lalin Anik, Professor Michael I. Norton, and coauthors explore whether organizations that seek to increase charitable giving by advertising the benefits of giving are making claims supported by empirical research and, most importantly, whether such claims actually increase donations. Key concepts include:

• Happier people give more and giving makes people happier, such that happiness and giving may operate in a positive feedback loop (with happier people giving more, getting happier, and giving even more).
• At the same time, charitable organizations should be concerned about the possibility of crowding out their donors' proclivity to donate in the longer term by incentivizing them (via gifts, etc.) in the short term.
• While offering donors monetary or material incentives for giving may undermine generosity in the long term, preliminary research suggests that advertising the emotional benefits of prosocial behavior may leave these benefits intact and might even encourage individuals to give more.
• Future research is needed to disentangle the possible costs and benefits of self-interested giving. The authors are actively engaging charitable organizations to conduct these studies.

 "I have been involved with other programs that help raise money for non profits through fundraising but like the aspect of the mall shopping which makes it so much simpler to use."

 "We've just started hosting our agency shopping mall through OurGV Rewards but we're already seeing the benefits!  And with over a thousand vendor opportunities online, this innovative fundraising approach has wide appeal and great potential.  Plus, our regional representative is extremely helpful.  It truly is a win-win situation!"

Delta PI XI has been blessed by what OurGV has to offer.  It has been a great experience to share our "shopping mall website" with friends and colleagues.  DPX is striving so very hard to create a presence in the community, that raising funds in this way has been the answer.  All of my sorority sisters love the video postcard.  It has been circulating for a few days now.  Again, thank you so much for all of your help.  OurGV has been a blessing for Delta PI XI Sorority, Inc.
