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 this is the last week to give in 2005. 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 GLBT charity, is investing in our community and making a contribution just got easier as several charities have gone online to accept donations. Your online donation is safe, secure and helps support the issues and causes you care most about.
