Philanthropy: Bringing personal satisfaction

Philanthropy, the act of giving to those in need, has been a longstanding tradition worldwide. Beyond its tangible impact on communities and individuals, philanthropy has the potential to bring personal satisfaction to donors themselves.

Understanding satisfaction in philanthropy

Philanthropy is not merely an act of generosity; it's also a pathway to personal fulfillment. Research demonstrates a strong link between giving and personal satisfaction, with studies indicating that individuals experience greater satisfaction when they give a larger percentage of their income. This connection stems from the positive emotions and a sense of purpose that arises from making a difference in the lives of others.

By sharing knowledge and empowering communities, illuminAid helps individuals develop vital skills and make informed decisions that positively impact their lives and those around them.
