🎄 While we focus on spreading joy through gifts, let’s not forget the spirit of generosity that defines this season. In 2023, Americans donated $499 billion to charities, with a significant portion contributed during the holiday season. Local food banks, toy drives, and charity organizations report an increase in demand during December, underscoring the importance of giving back. 💡 How can we make this season more meaningful? Consider allocating a portion of your holiday budget to support local charities or families in need. Explore creative ways to give, like organizing toy drives or volunteering time to community initiatives. The holidays are about more than spending—they’re about sharing. What are your favorite ways to give back during this time of year? Let’s discuss in the comments! #HolidaySeason #Christmas2024 #Charity #GivingBack #HolidaySpending

As we wrap up National Volunteer Week (April 21 – 27), it's important to recognize all the individuals who help charities through their generous donations of time. It's estimated that 60+ million people volunteer more than 4 billion hours annually. While many are motivated to volunteer, we sometimes hit roadblocks or challenges to achieve this objective. Among them is finding the “extra” time to donate. Overcome this and other barriers by considering the following tips when making a volunteer choice: https://bit.ly/3Wo1asO #community #BBB

The largest gift someone makes in their lifetime is usually only received posthumously: a gift left in their will. Long term giving is the single biggest predictor of whether your charity will be in someone's will. The secret to encouraging long term giving lies in communication. Don't be distracted be larger long term donations, either–focus on all levels of giving–gift size now is not a valid predictor of legacy giving. - Communicate often - Build relationships - Thank people thank people thank people!

If you’re one of the millions of people giving to charity this holiday season, your gifts may be tax deductible. To be eligible for a deduction of up to 60% of your adjusted gross income, you must itemize deductions. Also, charities that receive your donations must be tax-exempt. You can check the IRS’s site (https://bit.ly/3ViMOcb ) to confirm an organization’s exempt status and compliance with filing requirements. If you need more time to investigate charities before donating, be sure to complete all gifts by Dec. 31.

It's #GivingTuesday today, a global day of giving. Doing something charitable helps those around us, but it's also beneficial for our own wellbeing. Doing good for others doesn't always need to cost money, either. We try and do charitable things throughout the year here at Shropdoc, and in the New Year we will be running our annual Re-gifting Scheme for the second time where staff can donate items to be re-gifted to local charities and those in need. #WorkingForShropdoc #regifting [Image description: Text reading "doing something charitable is good for your wellbeing".]
