This year there is a special donation advisory to be aware
of, the Katrina Emergency Tax Relief Act of 2005 provides tax benefits for those affected by the storm and for those
who have donated. There is a much larger allowable tax deduction for cash contributions made from August 28 and
December 31, 2005. This
article in the Magic City Morning Star
has more details. And although has a lot has been done and the area devastated by the fall hurricanes is still in
need of help. There are many places to donate to hurricane relief but the
Red
Cross and the
Bush-Clinton Katrina Fund are two of the most
popular.
