Why give to charity? If you pay taxes, you lose 33 cents of every dollar to tax (pray to god you don’t live in CA, cause they are the worst for taxes). If you give to charity, you lose 66 cents for each dollar given (lose one dollar but get back 33 cents in the form of a deduction up to 50% of agi). Charity works well if you already intended to give, but you will lose 33 cents on every dollar.
