With the end of the year fast approaching and The Winters Group busy organizing receipts for our annual coat drive, it’s a good reminder that the time for making tax-deductible donations for 2021 is coming to a close. Indeed, nearly a third of annual giving happens in December with more than 10% occurring in just the last three days of the month, according to Network for Good’s Digital Giving Index.
