charity appeals
Pleas for giving
Charity appeals are requests for donations made by organizations seeking support for their causes.
The term typically refers to formal fundraising campaigns—letters, advertisements, telethons, or door-to-door solicitations asking the public to give money: The charity appeals around Christmas can be overwhelming.
Appeals may target specific disasters, ongoing needs, or general operating funds.
