$200,000....about $125 to various organizations and clothing/furniture to Salvation Army. I'm in a helping profession so I do give back in other ways

And do you write off this generous effort? What a joke.

$240k

We give a few thousand a year (it varies) mostly to local charities (animal shelter, mentoring program, homeless shelter) and a few larger charities (children international, doctors without borders, oxfam, Red Cross). We also tend to donate a lot of things to goodwill and our library (for book sales). We used to donate more, but had some unexpected expenses and had to cut back. I'd like to up it again as I don't really feel like the amount we give is commensurate with our salaries.

I'm also on the board of a non-profit so donate a fair amount of time and fundraise for that.

Actually I do write it off . I spend 40 hours a week in a helping profession in a marginally paid position for my level of education so while I'm not giving much financially, I am being charitable in other ways.
