be a reliable and trustworthy system of management in place to handle such a system. No entity that fits this description exists today.

Until such time that a reputable agency is made available to handle mandatory charitable contributes, this matter must remain in the hands of the general public as a matter of voluntarism. In the absence of a structured system to handle mandatory contributions we as a society must make the effort to promote and encourage charitable contributions. This is being done in many places on different scales with varying degrees of success. There are so many worthy charities in the public market that it is difficult for the common person to cope with all the possible options, let alone be persuaded to part with any of their person possessions in the first place. Such confusion and dilution of the charitable market is nothing but a hindrance on the charities that so desperately need regular contributions. In order for charities to work effectively with society and maximize the contributions from the public they need to operate in a much more focused, cohesive and collaborative manner.

Surely in the wake of such collaboration a trustworthy and efficient entity can be formed that would be beneficial to all charities. With the development of a centralized organization we may find the governing body necessary to enforce the compulsory charitable contribution spoken of earlier. If nothing else having a collaborative body of charitable organizations would benefit the public by presenting a unified front in the effort to raise awareness, money and supplies for so many needed charities. Efforts of this nature would make the collection and promotion of charities much more efficient and even handed than they are today. Making it easier to contribute to charity may be the first steps to compelling citizens to contribute to charity.
