How do I set up somewhere for people to donate money online?

When rich people donate money to non-profit organizations, does it adversely affect the wealth of society?

• Billionaires donate money to cancer research, education, victims of child abuse, etc. but does that money affect people in general economically? It seems like if billionaires give a lot of money to organizations which do not benefit individuals economically instead of just spending it, then people will be poorer. Obviously the amount of money donated in relation to the amount of money in the U.S. economy is miniscule so we would not notice any change but if people become more generous by giving more to organizations which do not make money, would this hurt the economy?

• Answer:

  You make it sound as if money donated to charitable organizations just disappears. Those organizations are quite eager to spend that money accomplishing whatever goals they have. Most charities employ people at wages at or near what the private sector would pay, and they spend plenty of money to produce various goods and services.
