  Sometimes the rich people who dish out these donations believe in doing good deeds so that their own businesses will prosper, all that karma thing.
  
  They have money to give away, who wants to stop them?

  Yes, as long as they don't have to do anything more than open their wallets, write a cheque or dial a telephone number.

  If you have been blessed with a good life, it is only right you repay that kindness one way or another.
