Deductibles

spider.jpgThe year is winding down. Even if you are Scroogey McAsshole, you should still be trying to get in your charitable donations before the end of the year, for maximum deductions. Here are some of the more interesting ways I have found to donate to those less fortunate:

  • Flood the World With Bees: Something Awful is asking people to donate money towards sending bees to Africa. These bees will help pollinate crops (or strike fear in the hearts of Africans, take your pick.)
  • Donors Choose: Allows you to fund whatever educational program(s) strike your fancy. Or, you can create a challenge to fund a pet project of your very own.
  • Child’s Play: Provides toys and games to children’s wards in hospitals across America. Started by gamers, this is a charity near and dear to my heart.
  • Adopt-a-Platoon: Regardless of what you think of the war, the troops deserve a little love. Send a care package or donate money directly. Or, fund one of the many charitable programs they have created, such as toys for kids in Bosnia.

    Two thoughts: 1. That bee photo is pretty disturbing. 2. I see it’s an outgrowth of the Heifer project.

    I found this through NeilGaiman.com (though I frequent the Something Awful forums as well) and his favorite charity is the Heifer Project. Yay, cows! :-)
