WEB EXCLUSIVE: Charitable Donations for the Holidays
December/January 2009
By Taylor Miller
Supporting charities that promote the use and preservation of nature makes for a great, long-lasting and meaningful gift. In place of a trinket or gadget, knowing your gift has helped sponsor a charity means you have helped change the world – ultimately the greatest gift there is. And, as always, donations to all 501(c)(3) programs registered with the IRS are tax deductible. Here is our list of charitable donations that we recommend for this holiday season.
