Good Deeds With Maximum Impact and Minimum Time

Not everyone can be in the front lines distributing food to the hungry or helping the homeless. If you're just too busy to do volunteer work, you can still help a lot by supporting the fundraising efforts of truly deserving charitable organizations. You can give a small donation when they stop by and bring cookies, chocolates, raffle tickets, coupon booklets and other fundraising items. By spending just a few minutes of your time and a little bit of money, you can help empower these charitable organizations to better serve your community.

If you're interested in donating online, click GuideStar.org. You can search it's database of non-profit institutions in the US and learn more about your favorite charity before you donate.

Click Search IRS Database of Exempt Organizations to find out if your favorite charitable organization is exempt from federal tax. You can also find out how much of your contribution is tax deductible when you donate. Of course, you should always check with your tax professional for advice about tax-deductible donations.

Helping Non-Profits Raise Funds

By helping charitable organizations raise funds, you can participate in their good work and help make a lot of good community programs happen. You can have a big impact even with just a small amount of time and money.
