The holiday season often stirs people's generosity to give a gift that embodies the spirit of the holidays by helping those in need.
Consider a truly memorable and special gift, but remember today is the last opportunity to be tax deductible in 2012. While many charitable donations are tax-deductible, as always, consult your own tax or financial advisor before making any personal financial decisions.
Investing in a local LGBT charity, is investing in our community and making a contribution is easier as most organizations accept donations online.
Here are a few organizations still accepting donations today. I recognize this is a partial list of the numerous organizations helping Chicago’s LGBT community.
AIDS Foundation of Chicago
