A2: Giving

The Farmer’s Marketer writes about three Michigan tax credits for charitable donations, including ones for homeless shelters, food banks, certain public institutions and community foundations. “So, for each $400 we donate (usually online – it’s so easy) to Food Gatherers, The Arb, and a rotating list of Community Foundations ($1200 in total donations), our actual outlay of cash is around $80 in each category. About $240 total. That’s less than a Nintendo Wii.” [Source]
