Exactly what this Administration should be doing more of.

The images over the last few weeks from Hurricane Helene and the devastating impacts the storm has had on the communities of Western North Carolina, and the nearby states of Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia have demonstrated the critical need for communities to support each other in times of crisis. As members of the transportation community, we regularly rise to the occasion when crises occur to our people or to the infrastructure that we maintain so people can go about their daily lives. In this time of great need in these states, we ask that you rise to the occasion again and consider contributing to organizations helping in the recovery and rebuilding of communities in Western North Carolina and all of the states experiencing the devastating events of the last few weeks.

Dolly Parton just did something amazing (again). $1,000,000 to hurricane Helene relief efforts! I’d have to really sit down and think about it, but she’s probably done more for the state of Tennessee than anyone else in recent memory. If you’re thinking about helping out (or donating to a different cause that’s important to you), there’s a smart way to do it—especially if you own stocks that have gone up in value. Instead of donating cash or worse, selling the stock and paying taxes on the gain, you can donate it directly. This helps in two ways: you avoid paying capital gains tax, and you get to deduct the full value of the stock on your taxes. It’s a win-win, and it means more of your money goes to the cause instead of to taxes. Want to do it on an annual basis? Look into Donor Advisory Funds. But that’s a different post… https://lnkd.in/eNzQ4YAN
