THUNDERVIEWS November 21, 2019 | Highline College | Page 4 Holiday giving helps keep people living As the holidays ramp up, more and more people feel the charitable spirit that accompanies them. But the need for giving is year-round. Very few people are likely to contest that donating to charity is a kind act, a net positive. Nor will they disagree that there isn’t any particularly good reason to only do so at one time in the year over any other. And yet, it may or may not surprise you to learn that 34 percent of all annual charitable giving takes place in the last three months of the year, with the bulk 18 percent happening in December alone. It makes perfect sense, really. What better time to get people in a giving mood than the holiday season? This large concentration of donations often helps keep many charities afloat. However, much of the time, concurrent donations almost flatline through the rest of the year. There are a myriad of great charities working this time of year. Women’s Programs and WorkFirst Services are hosting their annual giving tree, where you can sign up to sponsor a family and provide extra financial help in purchasing gifts for their kids.
