-Many restrictions on what can be donated and what is given to the person in need.
-This is certainly not the case 100% of the time, but there are some circumstances in which people may become too comfortable in their dependence on charities that they do not care enough to work for themselves.
-Donations are not specific, and often cover a large field of needy areas. So for example instead of one person getting $100, a large number of people will only receive 20 cents each.
