This way we know that our efforts go toward a good use and goal. As importantly is that we do not give with a "Tax Benefit in Mind" (that's the 5th # 1 above). We Give Because We Believe that a gift is indeed a Gift and we do so freely and without expecting a "Tax Benefit". The Benefit is knowing that we have assisted in doing something for others....and really, isn't that what "Giving" is all about? Merry Christmas and God Bless you each and every one.
