Preferred term

personal donations  

Definition

  • Personal donations—whether from a child's piggy bank, a neighborhood garage sale, or a church fundraiser, are given out of a personal need and desire to help. For nonprofit, private organizations such as the Salvation Army, these accumulated donations are foundational to their work. [Source: Encyclopedia of Disaster Relief; Donations, Personal]
