Attention all philanthropists: the International Day of Charity is September 5! If giving back makes you happy, then get ready to start giving.
The International Day of Charity was originally a Hungarian civil society initiative to commemorate the anniversary of Mother Teresa’s death. In 2012, the UN General Assembly turned this commemoration into an international event. Today, the focus is on enhancing visibility, organizing special events, and increasing solidarity, social responsibility, and public support. If you’re interested in “paying it forward,” do it on September 5.
