The reasons for donating your money, time, or goods depend on the charitable institution you want to help and the situation where the donations are needed. For instance, the International Red Cross prefers donations to be made in form of cash in order to make immediate responses in the affected countries. Unlike goods or gifts that needs to be transported (thus the organization needs to spend on transportation costs), monetary donations can be easily transferred and converted into whatever is most needed.
There are also charities that prefer donations in form of goods because they will not consume more time planning and buying goods, especially in cases where the local economy is already down due to a tragedy or disaster. If these goods are made available, all they have to do is to pack them and distribute them to affected families who need such items.
Whichever the case may be, time is one of the most essential donations you can make, especially if you do not have sufficient funds to help many charities financially. By donating your time for charitable activities and programs, you are helping such charitable organizations to reduce their administrative costs and providing them the manpower they need to bring charity works close to the people in need.
