it depends on how you define the word
if you say
The word "charity" entered the English language through the Old French word "charité" which was derived from the Latin "caritas"!.[1]

Originally in Latin the word caritas meant preciousness, dearness, high price!. From this, in Christian theology, caritas became the standard Latin translation for the Greek word agapē, meaning an unlimited loving-kindness to all others, such as the love of God!. This much wider concept is the meaning of the word charity in the Christian triplet "faith, hope and charity", as used by the King James Version of the Bible in its translation of St Paul's Letter to the Corinthians!. However the English word more generally used for this concept, both before and since (and by the "King James" Bible at other passages), is the more direct love!. (See the article Charity (virtue))

St Paul's agapē was not primarily about good works and giving to the poor (And though I feed the poor with all my goods, and though I give my body, that I be burned, and have not love [agapē], it profiteth me nothing - 1 Cor 13:3, Geneva translation, 1560), although in English the word "charity" has steadily acquired this as its primary meaning, wherein it was first used in Old French at least since the year 1200 A!.D!.!.


[edit] Almsgiving
Main article: Alms

A Hindu Woman Giving Alms, painting by Raja Ravi VarmaAlmsgiving, the act of giving money, goods or time to the unfortunate, either directly or by means of a charitable trust or other worthy cause, is described as charity or charitable giving!. The poor, particularly widows and orphans, and the sick and disabled, are generally regarded as the proper objects of almsgiving!. Some groups regard almsgiving as being properly directed toward other members of their group!.

Donations to causes that would benefit the unfortunate indirectly, as donations to cancer research hope to benefit cancer victims, are also charity!.

The name stems from the most obvious expression of the virtue of charity is giving the objects of it the means they need to survive!.

Most forms of charity are concerned with providing food, water, clothing, and shelter, and tending the ill, but other actions may be performed as charity: visiting the imprisoned or the homebound, dowries for poor women, ransoming captives, educating orphans!.

Although giving to those nearly connected to oneself is sometimes called charity -- as in the saying "Charity begins at home" -- normally charity denotes giving to those not related, with filial piety and like terms for supporting one's family and friends!. Indeed, treating those related to the giver as if they were strangers in need of charity has led to the figure of speech "as cold as charity" -- providing for one's relatives as if they were strangers, without affection!.


Missionaries of Charity, a Roman Catholic order dedicated to caring for the poorThe recipient of charity may offer to pray for the benefactor; indeed, in medieval Europe, it was customary to feast the poor at the funeral in return for their prayers for the deceased!. Institutions may commemorate benefactors by displaying their names, up to naming buildings or even the institution itself after the benefactors!. If the recipient makes material return of more than a token value, the transaction is normally not called charity!.

Originally almsgiving entailed the benefactor directly giving the goods to the receiver!. People who could not support themselves -- or who feigned such inability -- would become beggars!.

Institutions evolved to carry out the labor of assisting the poor, and these institutions are called charities!. These include orphanages, food banks, religious orders dedicated to care of the poor, hospitals, organizations that visit the homebound and imprisoned, and many others!. Such institutions allow those whose talents do not lend themselves to caring for the poor to enable others to do so, both by providing money for the work and supporting them while they do the work!. Institutions can also attempt to more effectively sort out the actually needy from those who fraudulently claim charity!. Early Christians particularly recommended the care of the unfortunate to the charge of the local bishop!.

In Sunni Islam this is called Zakat, and is one of the five pillars upon which the Muslim religion is based!. Charity is also used as a forename, intended to evoke the idea that one so named is a giving person!.


[edit] Research
Research in the United States suggests that religious belief is the strongest predictor of giving!.[2][3][4][5][6] One study found that average charitable giving in 2000 was over three times higher by religious individuals ($2,210) than by secular individuals ($642)!. Giving to non-religious charities by religious individuals was $88 higher!. Religious individuals are also more likely to volunteer time, donate blood, and give back money when accidentally given too much change!.[4] A 2007 study by Www@Enter-QA@Com

5: Other!.

Obama will be forcing people to give charity to his rabble - the 40 per cent of his 90 per cent of under $250,000 who don't pay taxes because they don't work!.

Your hard earned dollars that constiute a degree, or a seed of wealth for you will be redistributed to Obama's bums under his agenda of Karl Marx's (Communist co-founder) Wealth Redistribution!.

There will be little if any opportunity to donate to a valid charity of your choice!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
