Pretty much this. People can donate to anything at any given time. However, not everyone is aware of the existence of these charities, and the extra hype these events generate usually cause people to donate easier/sooner/more. --- XboX GT/Steam/Wii-U - Nazanir <cite>Nazanir posted [p:933129543] in Real talk:...

Even so called "non-profits." It was a real eye-opener going down that rabbit hole. Realistically, you need human bodies to carry out most charity work, so they need some kind of compensation unless you manage to get hundreds of people choosing to live in absolute poverty. Though there are plenty of scam organizations out there as well. <cite>nemu posted [p:933129695] in Real talk:...
