Donate Your Golf Equipment To Charity For A No Hassle Way To Receive Value!
By Lee Triplett

Donate your golf equipment and you can reduce your tax burden!

If you’re like me, you have one area of your house, apartment, or garage filled with golf equipment you no longer use. Although maybe this equipment has been replaced by newer technology or you’ve grown tired of them or they just don’t work for you, most of it would probably work for someone else just fine. So donate it!

Donating items of value to qualified charities can significantly reduce your tax burden. I suspect that most of you reading this are probably in the 25% tax bracket.That means that donating $200 worth of golf equipment could reduce your federal taxes by $50 (& also your state taxes).

Now although you might be able to sell that equipment for more money, donating your golf equipment greatly reduces the hassle factor! Simply take the equipment to your local charity thrift store. Many charities will even come to your house for a pickup!

It used to be that the biggest hassle in this process was figuring out how much to value each item. Not anymore! There is lots of help on the web. Also, many of you already have it loaded on your computer. The tax program TurboTax contains a module called It’s Deductible that does it all for you!

Of course, other good things happen when you donate your golf equipment to charity. First, donating to charity benefits your community. The proceeds from the resale of your equipment help charities fund numerous worthy causes.

Then there are the additional benefits of the smiles & good will you engender from your significant other from “clearing out the clutter” while reducing your taxes! When the money you can save on taxes is added to these intangible benefits, the frugal golfer doesn’t hesitate to donate golf equipment to charity!

School Fundraiser Tips
By Rebecca Zaiden

Planning a school fundraiser takes more thought than people think. You have to see when, where, and how you will have your fundraiser. Also, you have to see who is going to keep track of orders (if you are doing catalog orders), who will be in charge of the money, who will distribute the orders, etc. Perhaps the most important part of picking and planning a fundraiser is picking the best one for you! The most important thing to remember is to keep in mind the age and capabilities of the people who will be conducting the fund raiser!
Here is a list of important things to remember when planning a school fundraiser.

Pick a fundraiser that the students of your school will be able to manage easily according to their age.

Before you even agree to have the fundraiser, make sure you have enough people to help you before, during, and after the event in order for everything to go as smooth as possible.

Make sure that you do a lot of research on the company you will be using for the fundraiser. The best thing is to get a recommendation from a fellow teacher, parent, friend, or from me! You want to make sure you are dealing with a legitimate business.

Have a contact number ready for the fundraiser company you choose at all times! That way you can call them if any questions or concerns come up.

Try to make the fundraiser as organized as possible. Make sure all the students are fully aware of when the event starts, when it ends, who to turn in the orders, money, etc to.

Make sure you have enough time to properly advertise the event you will be having.
