How an average Indian can turn philanthropist

A philanthropist literally means a man or a woman who has a genuine concern for the society at large. He is like the hero of the society who jumps in the turbulent river to save a drowning boy. He is a man who cannot watch a woman being mistreated by goons. He is the person who is ready to risk his life to save another. Such a person can be easily found in imaginations and Bollywood films. But an ordinary Indian can easily turn philanthropic by doing some basics to society.

Here is a simple thing a person living in any corner of the society can do. It is relatively simple thing to do. Just make another savings account named “Philanthropy”.

This is how 2 accounts can be maintained.:- 
When you already have a bank account you will have to visit the bank to deposit some money in your account. The same can be done by internet banking. Suppose a close friend or relative needs a favor and says ,”You are going to the bank, please deposit my money also”.  The amount of time consumed and the effort used is minimized when you are doing two transactions instead of one. Take a very real situation. Let us say that YOU have 2 bank accounts; one in your name and one in the name of “Philanthropy”. When you are going to deposit a sum of Rs 1000 in your account, you can make a ratio eg 9:1. So you deposit Rs900 in your account and Rs100 in the “Philanthropic” account.
   
This is why you will do it:-   
Having 2 bank accounts makes a person more confidant. It is because a person has to deal with only one bank account for regular usage. The other account is hidden from society.
Also when you are saving money for philanthropy you are actually feeling good at heart. When you do not purchase an alcohol bottle or a pack of cigars but save the same money for philanthropy you actually feel good at heart, liver and lungs. Just know that you are saving money for a mission for the deprived class in the society. And it might come in handy any time.

Where will the money go to?
Need not worry .You are not giving away money that easily. It rightfully your money and you have earned it. So it is up to you to decide how you are going to use it. Money is a powerful tool and it can buy you goods. Let me suggest how you can use the money fruitfully. You can……..                                                                                                

 1.Finance a poor but prodigal kid in your neighborhood.

 2.Provide instant assistance to a victim of an accident or crime. Buy him a doctor or a lawyer and fight crime.

3.Organize a blood donation camp. There is an acute imbalance between supply and demand. Also negative blood group blood is very hard to find. So just find a Sunday of your life and take up this venture.

4.Become an entrepreneur. Look around you. Find things that are lacking in society .Analyze an everyday situation and try to see how you can bridge the gaps and make money simultaneously. Your neighborhood may lack a proper garbage disposal unit, a park, ambulance services or plumbing facilities. Invest your money and sell it to your municipality for some quick profits.

5.Join or organize an NGO body with some mission. An NGO is capable of running schools, hospitals and working for the unprivileged. Set a team of 12 people and get registered as a firm. Money will keep flowing from the rich and the famous.

To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. So all you have to do is open another savings account and start seeing the differences to your image in society and your bank’s main account as well.
