A charity is an organisation created to raise money and awareness to help and support specific causes, diseases, or groups of people in need. A charity is typically a non-profit organisation. Any donated money is spent only on the charity’s activities and principal objectives. Charitable organisations can range from helping the homeless to cancer awareness. In 2021, it was estimated that there would be over 1.3 million registered charities worldwide
