Earmarking money for the causes important to you lets you give regularly and without worry. Ask about matching gifts. Many companies match contributions employees make to charitable organizations. Check with your employer to see what their giving policy entails. Keep your financial receipts in order.
Charities issue receipts for most donations.
Make sure you obtain one for income tax purposes, as donations to charities are tax deductible. If you donate to charity using Charity.ca, you will receive your tax receipt via email. Volunteer for a committee, attend events, help in any way you can.
