Charitable contributions refer to donations made to organizations or causes that aim to help others or improve society. These contributions can take various forms, including money, goods, or services, and are often given to non-profit organizations, such as charities, foundations, or community groups. Many individuals and businesses make charitable contributions to support causes they care about, such as education, healthcare, or environmental protection. In some countries, these donations may also provide tax benefits, encouraging more people to give and support their chosen causes.
