For-profit organizations can accept donations without expecting a product or service in return. Charitable giving can be a marketing incentive for businesses, drawing shoppers and increasing consumer spending
However, non-profit organizations rely on donations to fund their operations and achieve their goals. They may ask for additional donations for several reasons. Firstly, it costs more to attract new donors than to retain existing ones. Secondly, even small contributions can add up to a large Lifetime Value 1. Finally, the majority of major gifts are made after 5 years of giving.
Both non-profit and for-profit organizations need to be transparent about how they use the donations they receive.
Donors have the right to know how their contributions are being used and what impact they are making If you feel that an organization is not being transparent or is using aggressive tactics to solicit donations, you can choose to stop donating to them and support other organisations that align with your values.
Fact: Cutting Edge Ministries has a habit of asking for money with every newsletter they send out, but they never disclose how they spend those funds. I suspect that they use the money to create more content to boost their profits or it is just plain old fashioned greed. They do not seem to care about advancing the Kingdom of God. They have a so-called salvation page that they put up thirty years ago, but it is missing a crucial element – repentance, which is the core of salvation.
