donation and their categories
By Chhongba | January 15, 2008
A donation is a gift given, typically to a cause or/and for charitable purposes. A donation may take various forms, including cash, services, new or used goods as i.e. clothing, toys, food, vehicles, emergency or humanitarian aid items, and can also relate to medical care needs as i.e. blood or organs for transplant. Charitable gifts of goods or services are also called gifts in kind.
It is possible to donate in someone else’s name, also commonly referred to as making a gift in honor or in memory of someone. Gifts in honor or memory of other people are made for various reasons, such as holiday gifts, wedding gifts, or in memory of somebody who has died. Memorial gifts are sometimes requested by the survivors (e.g. “in lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to ABC Charity”), usually directing donations to a charitable organization for which the deceased was a donor or volunteer, or for a cause befitting the deceased’s priorities in life or manner of death. Memorial donations are also sometimes given by people if they cannot go to the ceremonies.
This site is also dedicated to my departed Love(Sanju). I know how essential is blood donation. Blood donation is the simply thing that you can do and the most honourable donation done by you.
