As the last days of 2000 wind down, so too dwindle your opportunities to make tax-deductible charitable donations for the year. If you'd like to help out your favorite charity before time is up, turn to the Web. A growing number of major charities accept online donations, and numerous Web sites accept donations on behalf of nonprofit organizations. So it's easier than ever to make a quick and simple donation, Miller says.
Most sites operate similar to online sales, with a shopping cart and a checkout procedure.
After you're done, be sure to print proof of your contribution for your records. The nonprofit charity donation site Justgive.org makes it easy to track your donations, says founder and chief executive officer Kendall Web. Every donation you make at the Web site appears in a password-protected file, Web says. And at the end of the year, the company will send an e-mail summary of your donations. Miller points out that you don't actually need to file proof of your donations with your taxes, so you can still file taxes online.
