Top 5 Donation Gift Certificates in the Philippines

Giving does not have to last for only a season, and there are many reasons to start feeling generous and being charitable. Afterall, the nature of altruism invigorates the inner peace of anyone who does it. The inherent that are attributed in our hearts when done with sincerity and based on the intentions of helping the needy are never always in vain. 

It is true that money is a necessity in our lives, but money is not meant to make us happy. Happiness is  something that we don't see, and we cannot hold. Happiness is a feeling, and that feeling are felt in the heart. 

While money is a physical thing and money is not everything, everything needs money. When we use money for good deeds and with the purpose to enrich and benefit others, we are considered to be big-hearted and public-spirited individuals. And people very much expects our presence in their lives naturally. Benefiting others who are the needy in our society brings a sense of calmness, satisfaction and contentment in our hearts when we see others are happy because we are their main source of joy. 

When we audit ourselves, whoever has no generous and warm-loving nature will never be contented or satisfied with their lives in the world and hereafter. We ask ourselves what are our purpose in life? So, ask yourself, do you care about the feeling of others around you?

Only truly blissful people are able to make others around them feel joyful and filled with felicity, and will be concerned about those around them who expects their generosity and caring attitudes towards others.

Remember the true concept of "happy happiness". Here at Gifted.Ph, we have list down the top 5 donation gift certificates that are very popular in the Philippines:

1. AC HS 98 Foundation 

Assumption San Lorenzo High School Class 98 - AC HS 98 Foundation will be celebrating its 25th year in 2023. As part of a time-honored Assumption tradition, these Silver Jubilarians will be hosting the 2023 annual homecoming and charity fundraising event, known as Old Girl’s Day. This day will bring together generations of Assumption Alumnae, along with their families and friends, for a fun day of camaraderie. More importantly, the proceeds will go to the causes for the benefit education of young men and women all over the country. 

2. Habitat for Humanity 

For the last 30 years, Habitat for Humanity has been building homes, communities, and hope for Filipino families in need. But so much still needs to be done.

At present, more than 5.5 million Filipino families live in substandard conditions in dirty, overcrowded slums. Many families are also displaced whenever typhoons, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and insurgency and armed conflict strike. Home ownership will help these families break the cycle of poverty because it leads to improved health and safety, stronger childhood development, and increased financial ability and self-reliance to build a better future.

Though a single letter differentiates the word HOME from HOPE, the impact of having safe, decent housing can spell the difference between lifelong poverty and the prospects for a brighter tomorrow.
