7 Unique Ways...

To create smiles around you:

1. Write an encouraging note to others that have
encouraged you or that need encouragement.
Handwritten notes that are given to encourage,
not just for thanking someone for a gift, are rare.
That makes handwritten notes even more special.
Start a new practice of sitting down and writing an
encouraging note on a regular basis. You just might
start an epidemic!

2. Take a friend out to lunch or invite her to your
home for a meal. You will get to know each other
even better than you do right now. If you feel like
being more adventurous, throw a party for several
of your friends and put smiles on a multitude of faces.

3. Give someone an inspirational book to read. You
will feel good doing it, reading the book will change
the person, and they will think of you every time they
read it.

4. Ask a friend or relative if you can take care of their
kid(s) for a day or evening. If you have been a parent,
you know the value of being able to have a few hours
of "adult time" without worrying about the children.
Don't wait to be asked to baby-sit when it is required.
Offer to do it at a time when the parent can do
something fun and relaxing.

5. Deliver a meal to someone you know that is sick or
having a rough time. We have all been sick and know
the last thing you want to do is be out of bed. There
are also times when life is tough and it is hard to do
all of the daily chores. You can be a tremendous help
by providing a meal that can be enjoyed.

6. Volunteer time to supporting your local church or
charity. Every minute you dedicate to a church or
charity will cause many smiles. You will put a smile
on the face of each leader just for helping without
being asked. You will also be putting smiles on the
faces of those that are being helped through the
organization.

7. Thank everyone that supports you throughout the
day. The list of those that you come in contact with is
endless. Remember family and friends, secretaries,
co-workers, teachers, Sunday school teachers, pastors,
store employees, janitors, gas station attendants, those
that deliver your mail and newspaper, and servers at
restaurants.


Practice at least one of these per day and see what happens!

The Top Ten...

Most supported charities:

In this year's Philanthropy 400, United Way of America
was again No. 1, with more than 1,300 local United Ways
reporting $4-billion in contributions last year, a 3.9-
percent increase over 2004.

The Salvation Army held onto the No. 2 spot, raising $3.6-
billion, more than double what it did in 2004. The charity
was a major beneficiary of donations to help Hurricane
Katrina victims and also received a large distribution from
the estate of Joan B. Kroc, the wife of the McDonald's founder.
And even though many fund raisers worried that last year's
disasters would depress year-end giving, the Army's Red
Kettle drive in November and December raised a record
$111-million, up from $102-million in 2004.

The AmeriCares Foundation, which received $1.3-billion,
mostly in donated goods to distribute overseas, was No. 3.
The American Red Cross, which fell out of the top 10 for the
first time on last year's Philanthropy 400 list, vaulted back
up to No. 4, by raising $1.3-billion, including $553-million in
response to the tsunamis and another $128- million for
hurricane-relief efforts. However, because of the timing of its
fiscal year, those figures do not include gifts in response to
Katrina and two other hurricanes. Those contributions —
some $2.1-billion — will be reported in next year's survey.

The American Cancer Society (No. 5) raised $929.6-million last
year, a 7-percent increase. The remaining top 10 charities in
the survey were the Fidelity Charitable Gift Fund (No. 6); Gifts
In Kind International (No. 7); the YMCA (No. 8); Feed the
Children (No. 9); and the Tulsa Community Foundation (No. 10),
which raised $791.3-million last year, more than any other
community foundation in the country.

The foundation was one of 27 charities where donations rose by
more than 100 percent last year. Some of those soaring increases
were the result of fund raising for disasters.

Fifty charities in the survey reported contributions in response to
Hurricane Katrina totaling $335.7-million last year, with a median
of $772,000.

Fifty-four charities reported receiving $1.7-billion in 2005 in
response to the tsunamis, with a median of $3.3-million.

Donations to Philanthropy 400 groups, at $62.7-billion, accounted
for more than $1 out of every $4 raised by charities last year. And
as a whole, their contributions rose at a much faster rate than
giving grew overall. Americans gave $260.3-billion to charities in
2005, an increase of 2.7 percent after inflation, according to Giving
USA, the annual measure of philanthropy published by the Giving
USA Foundation. To be included in this year's Philanthropy 400,
charities had to raise at least $37.7-million last year.
