Donations News

Donations are gifts of money made by people and organizations in order to advance a certain cause. They are made without expecting a personal return. Money is often donated to charities, which collect donations from many sources and then use the money to help those in need. A lot of media outlets - usually those run by a single person or a small group - also rely on their audience's donations when they have no other way of making a living.
