Contributions can be monetary or donated goods (in good condition). ? Always document your donations—receipts are key for filing. This holiday season, let your kindness give back in more ways than one. Have questions about how to make the most of your giving? We’re happy to assist. #ClientFocused #TaxTipWednesday #HolidayTaxPlanning

Do your appeals have a “big number” problem? Do you pitch out an appeal remarking about the millions of people who experience a problem? You’re making a mistake — here’s why. People have a hard time relating to big numbers. If you send an appeal that tells a story of 800 million people going to bed hungry tonight, the average donor doesn't believe his $50 is going to make a difference. What will $50 do to make a dent in this large of a problem? Instead, tell a story of one person the reader could help. The story helps the reader connect to someone he can see himself helping with his $50 donation. Use the big numbers to reinforce the donation decision. #fundraising
