[quote=Anonymous]For the most part, our overall charitable contributions didn't change with DD's enrollment in private school; we shifted some from one recipient organization to another. And to get a feeling of what would be appropriate, I looked at the annual report to see what families similar to ours (at least on the surface) were donating. But when you look at those annual reports, don't get too discouraged by how much some are giving. We discovered that many of the most generous parents were not paying any tuition, the grandparents were. Couple that with a Big Law salary, and it is a lot easier to be generous. Participation at any level is important, as the level of participation figures into other things (matching, grants, rankings, etc). You can also give your time.[/quote]
