When donating through charity agencies, this is not clear and donors need to do research, like checking the charity\u2019s annual report, to confirm how much of the donation has reached the beneficiaries.&nbsp; The good thing about Play for Purpose is that the donor is aware from the very start of the specific amount of donation that will benefit the chosen cause.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lottery and charity may sound like they are at opposite poles.&nbsp; Lottery is often associated with leisure for self-gratification, while charity is about lending a helping hand to others who are in need.&nbsp; However, when people aim for a deeper purpose, lottery and charity can meet in middle. 50-50 Foundation, an ACNC registered charity, has found a way to make lottery and charity work together to achieve a common goal.\u00a0 The foundation founded an Australian online charity lottery called Play &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/auditingforgood.com.au\/?p=1\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Play for Purpose: When Lottery meets Charity&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":33,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/auditingforgood.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/auditingforgood.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/auditingforgood.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/auditingforgood.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/auditingforgood.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/auditingforgood.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":44,"href":"https:\/\/auditingforgood.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1\/revisions\/44"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/auditingforgood.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/33"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/auditingforgood.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/auditingforgood.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/auditingforgood.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
