Giving Tuesday

Tuesday, November 27 - the day after a weekend of spending money - is the day designated to donate to your favorite charities - Giving Tuesday

Many of the charities have sponsors who will match your gift - many do not.

During last year's Give BIG campaign I attempted to list all the local charities that were participating. Inevitably, I missed some. I also found the main website pretty buggy.

The very best way to donate is to go to the website for your favorites and look for the link to donate. It will take you exactly where you need to be to get your money to your charity.

During the holiday shopping, don't forget that Amazon will allow you to donate a percentage of your purchases to a charity through Amazon Smile.

Help a charity - feel good - get a tax write-off - what's not to love?
