Donate To Consumerist And Get A Tax Deduction
Tax Cat here, taking over from my cousin Holiday Cat, to remind you of an important deadline: You have until midnight on Friday to make a donation to Consumerist and use it as a deduction on your 2010 taxes. Consumerist? Tax deduction? That’s right. Consumer Media LLC, a not-for-profit Delaware limited liability corporation, publishes The Consumerist. We’re looking to raise $10,000 in the next few weeks. Help us now, and 2011 will be an even more awesome year for this site. That is why you should give us some money. Also: there are other reasons.
1. We do investigative journalism and get companies to end practices that hurt consumers.
2. We break news about the latest fast-food nightmares, and even get trained taste-testers to try them out for you.
3. We let you choose the Worst Company in America, and then help try to stop the Worst Acquisition in History.
Also good to know: Your donations will be used solely to fund the operations of The Consumerist. Seriously.
Yes, you can continue to enjoy Consumerist without donating. No, we’re not going anywhere. But if you’d like to support the sort of independent work we are doing, and help us expand the site, the best way you can do that is by sending us a few dollars.
Even a buck is appreciated, and you can rest at night knowing that you are helping to exacerbate the existing gastrointestinal issues that currently plague many of our nation’s finest CEOs.
If you’ve already given us money, thank you. We are attempting to send you hugs over the internet, but the science isn’t quite there yet.
