Last chance to make a charitable donation...

As the end of the year approaches, consider making one last charitable donation to your favorite cause. Some online resources may point you in the right direction for finding the charity that does work you believe in and the money you donate goes directly towards completing that work. Charity Navigator is one great resource that evaluates charities that looks at the financial health of the organization.

Here are some of our favorite local nature-related charitable organizations (there are tons more out there!).

• Atlanta Botanical Gardens
• Georgia Conservancy
• Georgia Wildlife Federation
• Piedmont Conservancy

Just remember to keep a record of the donation, so that you can make it tax deductible!
