		<description>Excellent advice. We&#039;ve started planning our charitable donations each January, and it helps us to say no and stay on budget when we&#039;re bombarded with requests throughout the year.

On the reverse side, if you&#039;re raising money for a cause, I can see how it would benefit to ask waaaaaaaaaaay in advance so organizations can plan. Sort of like a &quot;save the date&quot; card. A &quot;save your funds&quot; card. :-)</description>
