Supporting organization (charity)

When people have extra money or things that they don't need, they sometimes want to give it to others who are less fortunate. A supporting organization is a special type of charity that helps people or other charities who need if they can't do it alone. The supporting organization collects the money or things from people who want to help and then gives them to the people or other charities who need it the most. These organizations make sure that the things they give out are helpful and will make a real difference in people's lives. Supporting organizations are like a really big team that tries to help people who are in trouble or need a little bit of extra help.
