According to Think with Google , “ the urge to contribute has spread beyond the traditional special events — such as birthdays and holidays — and beyond the local family or social circle to the larger society .” This is great news for public benefit organisations , like the PPS Foundation , that want to remain top of mind to existing and potential donors all year round .
Now that we are approaching the festive season , as well as the end of the year when many young people must make a decision regarding their future and academic journeys , we implore companies and individuals alike to consider donating towards the Foundation ’ s work in the spirit of sharing . It is always encouraging when we get to help many more beneficiaries who can focus on their studies because they have one less thing to worry about ,” concludes Molefe .
