Recently, a report released by US Trust indicates thatdonors face many concerns regarding charitable contributions during the holidayseason. Among these concerns are: 1. There are differences in focus when donorsask for assistance. 2. The ability to donate has little to do with tax rates.3. Unwanted solicitations. 4. The rewards of finding a particular charity tocontribute to outweigh contributing less to many.
