Giving Tuesday

It feels good to give, even just a little something. And for people who are struggling, it feels great to receive. Whether your donation helps buy warm coats for kids or helps feed a local family, financial gifts are appreciated. There's a bonus benefit to you, the donor, which is a potential tax deduction. With so much need in the world, how do you decide who to give to? Can you trust that your donation will be put to good use and not just pay for the organization’s administrative costs? Charity Navigator is a good resource. It’s a New Jersey-based organization whose website enables us to find charities all over the world. They report on Financial Practices, Accountability and Transparency.
