Sometimes people like to give money to a cause as part of celebrating life's milestones, as a way to give back to the community or to remember the less fortunate during holidays and times of prosperity. Tempe has a strong culture of philanthropy that supports a variety of local social service agencies that exist largely through donations. If you don't have a specific charity or favorite cause you support, you might consider donating to the Tempe Community Foundation, a local program that collects monetary donations and uses the interest earned on it in ways that will keep providing a source of money for Tempe charities for many years to come."
