Charitable Giving: Over 100 Ways to Give Back This Holiday Season Team Angels - PVAngels
December 18, 2012

The holiday season is traditionally a time of generosity. Many charities and non-profit organizations report an increase in donations of volunteer work, goods, and money during this time of year, as people focus on ways to help the less fortunate.

It's no wonder that, traditionally, charities have received the bulk of their yearly donations during the last couple months of the year. Not to mention that charitable gifts need to be clocked in by December 31st in order to receive a tax deduction.

It's a great time to give. But it's also important to make sure that your hard earned dollars are donated well. That takes more than a generous heart. It also takes the rational thought of a hard-nosed consumer who can pick the best choices from a myriad of opportunities.

Make sure that your charitable donations reach their intended recipients and aren't intercepted by conscienceless fraudsters.

By donating direct to the charity and non-profit organizations included on our PVAngels site, you can ensure that your donations will go direct to the people running the operation and they will receive 100%.

PVAngels helps to raise funds for a range of Banderas Bay charities covering community services, the environment, animals & wildlife, health care, youth & family, education, culture & recreation, and some cool special interest groups.

We would like to introduce you to the specific organization that speaks to your heart - you'll see that there are more than 100 in our area struggling to make a difference that need your support.

We are hoping that you will take some time to look through the charity sites to learn more about them and how you can help.

In the near future, we will begin sending our regular PVAngels Newsletters where all donations will be listed with the donor's name (if desired). Since your donations will be going direct to the charities, we will need your help in letting us know the date, donor name, amount and chosen organization(s).

If your donation is in the form of clothing, food, equipment, toys or any other much needed items in Banderas Bay, we would like to show the world your kindness, so please email us - and if you need help getting your items a new home, we can do that too.

We would also like to know about your volunteer activities and experiences so we can publish the difference you are making. Photos are appreciated.

Remember, you can always donate in the name of a family member or a friend as a holiday or any occasion gift.

We hope you will get involved and help us build toward a better tomorrow in Puerto Vallarta/Riviera Nayarit.
