Most charitable contributions are given out during the last two months of the year. This is when holiday cheer seems to inspire charity. The charities that receive the most donations are those related to feeding families, providing toys to underprivileged children and to other religious charities.
Since your heart and mind are on charitable contributions this is the perfect time of year to write down what your charity traditions are. In this spiritual ethical will entry you can tell those that mean the most to you about the charities that mean the most to you. This section does not have to be long. A single paragraph will usually suffice.
When writing this section you will want to first detail what your charity traditions are. For example, you may donate a percentage of your annual income to a specific charity, or you may make it a habit to donate all of your change to charity collection buckets after each shopping trip. Make sure you identify how you determine how much you donate and how you determine which charities to donate to.
Next you will want to talk about your favorite charities. You can explain why certain charities hold a special place in your heart, and you can also explain why you avoid donating to certain charities. In addition to monetary donations you can also talk about donating your time. For example, you may want to talk about your tradition of volunteering to make cookies for local nursing homes, or volunteering to deliver meals to shut-ins.

This is probably a combination of people being in the holiday spirit, but also charities doing more work to encourage donations at this time of year.
