The BBB, or Better Business Bureau, is an organization dedicated to helping consumers find businesses and charities that they can trust. When a business has not met its end of the bargain, a complaint with the BBB may encourage them to respond to your issue. It also creates a public record of what happened to you so that other consumers are aware before they deal with shady businesses. #bbb #betterbusinessbureau #consumerprotection #elderlaw #seniors #seniorcitizen #legalhelp #legalservice

It's my favorite day of the year, ExtraGive! Today the small community of Lancaster, PA will raise millions of dollars for local charities. We're at $1.3M already, and it's not even 9am. While there are many worthy charities in our community, I ask that you consider supporting Lancaster Public Library. Some reasons to support LPL include... The Lancaster Public Library serves over 40% of the county's population with two locations in Lancaster City and Mountville. The Lancaster Public Library serves more than 350,000 annual visitors in a typical year with free public library services. Lancaster Public Library patrons borrow nearly 700,000 items each year. The Lancaster Public Library is not fully funded with public dollars. In fact, more than 60% of our budget is funded through donations and library generated revenue. Across the country, comparably sized public libraries operate with budgets two to three times ours, have over twice as many staff members, and receive upwards of $38 per resident of dedicated local funding! In comparison, the Lancaster Public Library receives about $1.49 per resident in local funding and it isn't guaranteed.

#donoradvisedfunds funds (#DAFs) and the East Bay Community Foundation mission-based funds are a great way to give to your local community. Consider making an online cash gift if you want it to count towards possible 2023 tax deduction. Otherwise, consider your philanthropy budget for 2024 and start preparing in January - that way you can fund your favorite cause areas in a steady manner throughout 2024 without having to wait until year-end. A #philanthropy budget is a great way to stay on target with your mission-based interests & cause areas versus responding to “asks” throughout the year and realizing you might have budget shortfall for areas you personally care about. #donoradvisedfunds #donors #taxdeductions #missiondriven
