Your dollars are always urgently needed. So it's good to hear that you are
actually going to contribute, right? 10% is a conventional tithe, but
might seem a bit steep in the beginning.

I you choose from the list of IRS-qualified organizations listed here

http://www.irs.gov/charities/article/0,,id=96136,00.html

your contributions may be eligible for deduction from Federal income taxes
(and typically state income tax also) under the provisions explained here:

Having founded and(or) been Director and(or) Chair of four non-profit
organizations in the last decade that focus on environmental improvement,
and having been in the elected leadership of others, and having donated
time and $ to countless more, I know that one of biggest challenges it to
get folks to 'walk the walk'. Its easy and comfortable to confuse popping
off once in a while with actual contributions, useful actions and
significant sacrifice.
