Law can be such a powerful tool for good. Pity that the lousy lawyers get the press. Most of them republicans, or so it seems.

I persuaded a family member to set up a donor advised fund at the end of last year... justified by the benefits of bunching donations, but it felt great to know that $ is earmarked for good... mostly environmental/wildlife donations last year, probably similar going forward.

Enjoy the feeling, TS
