YOUR HOLIDAY GIFT CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Approximate time: 30 seconds
What’s the best present for the person who has everything? Many of us will spend hours searching for another argyle sweater or kitchen appliance for Cousin Emily or Uncle John. However, the Michigan Association of CPAs recommends making a donation in a loved one’s name to a worthy charity that you know is important to them. There are many causes to help-—rescue services, environmental groups, animal welfare organizations, human rights groups and more. In some cases, you can donate toward something specific, such as saving an area of natural habitat or buying livestock or farm equipment for an impoverished village. Investigate your options and find out the best way to use your gift to make a difference. You’ll be showing you care about your loved one’s interests and making the world a better place. And remember that your CPA can offer advice on satisfying ways to make the most of your gift-giving budget.
