OBJECTIVE 19<br />

Identify types <strong>of</strong> charitable giving.<br />

Monetary donations<br />

— Many people choose<br />

to donate money to the<br />

charities <strong>of</strong> their choice.<br />

Volunteer service —<br />

Your time and expertise<br />

can be extremely<br />

valuable to a charitable<br />

organization. This kind<br />

<strong>of</strong> donation might include<br />

making phone calls, designing posters and fl yers, etc. According<br />

to the National Center for Charitable Statistics, approximately<br />

28.8 percent <strong>of</strong> Americans over the age <strong>of</strong> 16 volunteered some<br />

<strong>of</strong> their time in 2005.<br />

Gifts-in-kind — Instead <strong>of</strong> giving money to buy what an<br />

organization needs, you may choose to give necessary items<br />

instead. Non-cash gifts can be large and expensive (such as<br />

equipment) or inexpensive (such as items <strong>of</strong> clothing). The items<br />

can be new or used, as long as they are still in good useable<br />

condition.<br />
