It’s tax day…that day when we all share a grumble that dollars are going out of our pockets…and hoping that a few will come back in refunds. If you have an unexpected windfall from your tax returns, have you considered donating some of that to a charity you support? Do you owe Uncle Sam? Then, alternatively, how about giving some time to a charity you know and love, or a new one you’d like to know more about.
If you’re looking for a way to give back, and perhaps can be a bit more generous with donated HOURS as opposed to donated dollars…have a spin around the website Charity Guide. They are committed to making volunteerism fit into your lifestyle and availability. Volunteer opportunities are broken down into many cross-referenced categories, and especially handy are the tabs to click if you only have 15 minutes to give, a few hours, or are looking for something to do on a volunteer vacation. It is all about flexibility and doing work that is immediately actionable. Any day, but especially on tax day with all it’s extra stresses and deadlines, finding ways to fit generosity into our busy lives is a boon.
